Contrasting the previous month,
July in
Suncheon,
South Korea, witnesses the highest rainfall of the year, with an extraordinary jump to 337mm (13.27"). Marked as the peak of the hot and humid summer, temperatures climb to their zenith. Together with the high humidity that soars up to 78.5% making the days muggy and nights balmy.

Suncheon measures an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.8°C (85.6°F) in July, nearly consistent with the preceding month. Suncheon throughout July, records an average low-temperature of 21.2°C (70.2°F).
Heat index
For July, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
