Weather in August
Temperature
The coldest time of the year is August, with temperatures averaging a high of 30.8°C (87.4°F) and a low of 23.3°C (73.9°F).Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
Humidity
With an average relative humidity of 73%, August is the most humid month.Rainfall
August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 24.3 days and accumulates 154mm (6.06") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
In Katamsa, the average sunshine in August is 10.3h.UV index
The months with the lowest UV index are January, July through September, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
