July is the height of summer in
Dongducheon,
South Korea, with consistently high temperatures and the highest annual rainfall of a whopping 424mm (16.69"). A staggering 17 days of rainfall signify that this is the peak of the monsoon season. The rise in humidity levels accompanying rainfall brings muggy conditions, making it less comfortable for outdoor activities. Despite this, the extended daylight hours provide ample opportunity for those willing to brave the humid conditions. Consequently, July is characterized by the interaction between heat and rain, presenting residents with a humid, wet summer.
Temperature
With the onset of July, the average high-temperature registers at a still moderately hot 28.5°C (83.3°F), subtly different from
June's 27.6°C (81.7°F). During the nights in July, an average low-temperature of 20.5°C (68.9°F) is observed.
Heat index
Throughout July, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 33°C (91.4°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
