In
June,
Hsinchu City finds itself in the heart of
Taiwan’s summer, with temperatures spiking to a high of 31°C (87.8°F) on average, marking it as the first month when the city's temperature surpasses a tropical heat level. The fluctuation pattern triggers more daylight hours, thus presenting an ideal opportunity to partake in outdoor adventures. Ample hydration is necessary when conducting outdoor activities due to the increasing heat conditions.
Temperature
Hsinchu City marks the arrival of June with an average high-temperature of a tropical 31°C (87.8°F), hardly different from
May's 28.6°C (83.5°F). Nightly temperatures drop to an average low of 24.4°C (75.9°F) in June.
Heat index
The heat index for June is evaluated at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
