In
August,
Kalabagan enters the last huzzah of monsoon-worthy climatic conditions. Rainfall shelves off a bit compared to
July, but the resulting 317mm (12.48") still impacts city life appreciably. The city, however, retains the heaviest humidity—no relief just yet. Daylight hours on the decline suggest the imminent departure of monsoon months. Thus, the landscape continues to embrace rain showers while preparing to bid farewell to the monsoon.
Temperature
The shift into August reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.6°C (88.9°F), closely mirroring July's climate. Kalabagan's average low-temperature is measured at a moderately hot 26.3°C (79.3°F) during August.
Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
