Yotau, Bolivia

The last month of the winter, August, is a hot month in Yotau, Bolivia, with an average temperature fluctuating between 32.1°C (89.8°F) and 17.8°C (64°F).

Temperature

August sees a marginal temperature increase, moving from a warm 28.4°C (83.1°F) in July to a tropical 32.1°C (89.8°F). The nighttime average for Yotau in August plummets considerably from its daytime counterpart, resting at a refreshing 17.8°C (64°F).

Heat index

August's mean heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Humidity

In August, the average relative humidity is 53%.

Rainfall

August is the month with the least rainfall. Rain falls for 4.7 days and accumulates 10mm (0.39") of precipitation.

UV index

August through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: The UV index of 7 during August translates into the following guidance:
Take precautions and adopt sun safety practices. Protection against sunburn is obliged. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
