During August, Bacurituba records an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.8°C (89.2°F), marking a slight divergence from July's 30.3°C (86.5°F). Throughout the nights in August, Bacurituba experiences an average low-temperature of 21.9°C (71.4°F).

Heat index

August's average heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for 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.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in August is 80%.

Rainfall

In August, the rain falls for 23.2 days. Throughout August, 34mm (1.34") of precipitation is accumulated. In Bacurituba, during the entire year, the rain falls for 240.2 days and collects up to 756mm (29.76") of precipitation.

Sunshine

August has the most sunshine of the year, with an average of 8.2h of sunshine.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are January through April, June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: In August, a daily maximum UV index of 6 leads to the following instructions:
Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. 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. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
