August weather forecast
Mapanas, Philippines

Temperature

The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.8°C (87.4°F), closely following the temperature pattern of July. Mapanas registers a gentle descent to an average nighttime low of 26°C (78.8°F) in August from its daytime highs.

Heat index

During August, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

May and August, with an average relative humidity of 78%, are the least humid months in Mapanas.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended. Notice! The Sun's UV exposure elevates with sand and water reflections.
