June sees
Hengchun Township in the midst of summer, demonstrating the typical characteristics of
Taiwan's wet season. As temperatures plateau, the continual humid conditions lead to significant rainfall, often resulting in overcast days despite extended daylight hours. With a high of 31.4°C (88.5°F) and low of 25.4°C (77.7°F), the township receives about 379mm (14.92") of rainfall across approximately 17 days in June.
Temperature
Hengchun Township experiences an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F) in June, subtly different from
May's 30.9°C (87.6°F). During June, Hengchun Township experiences a consistent low-temperature average of 25.4°C (77.7°F).
Heat index
Throughout June, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 44°C (111.2°F).
Prudent: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Heatstroke becomes imminent with sustained exertion.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle 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 'real feel' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
