August weather forecastBali, Bhutan

Weather in August

August stands out as it claims the highest average low temperature of the year, registering a value of 25.8°C (78.4°F). The weather gradually undergoes transition from the intense monsoon climate of July. From this point, there is a visible reduction in rainfall, and the humidity levels begin to decline. Despite getting drier towards the latter half of the month, it remains a moderately breezy and warm period. However, the beauty of Bali Bhutan remains preserved, making it a good time for visitation.

Temperature

The introduction of August in Bali notes a subtle temperature variation to a still hot 33.2°C (91.8°F) from July's 32.8°C (91°F). August's average low-temperature reading in Bali, Bhutan, settles at a moderately hot 25.8°C (78.4°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in August is computed to be a burning hot 50°C (122°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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 particularly relevant to children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Humidity

In Bali, the average relative humidity in August is 82%.

Rainfall

In Bali, in August, during 25.3 rainfall days, 281mm (11.06") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 178 rainfall days, and 1872mm (73.7") of precipitation is accumulated.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in August is 8.5h.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are April, May, July through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The UV index of 7 during August translates into the following guidance:
Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
