August weather forecast
Alto Paraguai, Brazil

August, the last month of the winter in Alto Paraguai, is another tropical month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 34.3°C (93.7°F) and 19.8°C (67.6°F).

Temperature

August's arrival coincides with a subtle temperature rise, moving from July's tropical 30.9°C (87.6°F) to a still hot 34.3°C (93.7°F). Despite a significant deviation from daily highs, August sees an average nighttime temperature of 19.8°C (67.6°F) in Alto Paraguai.

Heat index

In August, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. 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. 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 important for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Note: In August, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
