August weather forecast
Kharandwip, Bangladesh

The last month of the summer, August, is another warm month in Kharandwip, Bangladesh, with an average temperature varying between 29.8°C (85.6°F) and 25.9°C (78.6°F).

Temperature

The shift into August uncovers an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.8°C (85.6°F), maintaining the same temperature as the previous month. Kharandwip welcomes an average low temperature of 25.9°C (78.6°F) in August, a gentle shift from the day's high.

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Humidity

July and August, with an average relative humidity of 86%, are the most humid months.

Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests these recommendations:
Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
