August weather forecast
Barcelona, Venezuela

August characterizes another cooling phase as temperatures dip slightly, creating pleasant weather conditions in Barcelona. The seawater temperature rises to reach 27.7°C (81.9°F), encouraging water-based activities like swimming and surfing. Despite being the summer season, the climate remains comfortable, perfect for sightseeing and exploration. Rainfall increases further up to 154mm (6.06"), keeping the city's greenery fresh and vibrant. However, despite the high temperature and rainfall, Barcelona's ethereal charm continues to attract visitors globally.

Temperature

The dawn of August sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.2°C (86.4°F), subtly contrasting with July's 30°C (86°F). Barcelona, in August, experiences an average temperature of 23.5°C (74.3°F) at night.

Heat index

The heat index value during August is appraised at a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended. Be wary! Reflections from sand and water make UV radiation more intense.
