Weather in August
The last month of the summer, August, is a tropical month in Sancheong-gun, South Korea, with an average temperature fluctuating between 30.3°C (86.5°F) and 21.2°C (70.2°F).
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 05:37 and sunset at 19:32. On the last day of August, in Sancheong-gun, sunrise is at 06:00 and sunset at 18:57 KST.
