Weather in August
Temperature
As July transitions into August, Chengmai records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.5°C (88.7°F), showing a gentle shift from the preceding month. In Chengmai, the nightly August temperatures experience a slight descent from daily highs to an average low of 26.6°C (79.9°F).Heat index
The heat index in August is estimated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
