Temperature

Dagapela sees the arrival of August with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.8°C (91°F), indicating a subtle variation from July. In the month of August, Dagapela witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 25.8°C (78.4°F).

Heat index

The heat index in August is computed to be a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
