August weather forecast
Mata Roma, Brazil

The last month of the winter, August, is another tropical month in Mata Roma, Brazil, with an average temperature fluctuating between 21.1°C (70°F) and 33.5°C (92.3°F).

Temperature

August's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 33.5°C (92.3°F), slightly deviating from July's 30.9°C (87.6°F). A sharp divergence from daytime highs is noted during the month of August, with the average nighttime temperature settling at a pleasant 21.1°C (70°F).

Heat index

August's heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index 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 individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. 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. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial.

Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
