Weather in August

August mirrors July in terms of temperature and humidity, maintaining summer's high intensity. Even though the rainfall decreases slightly from 142mm (5.59") to 119mm (4.69"), wet weather continues to be a defining factor. Extended daylight hours are complemented by equally generous sunshine, painting a vibrant picture of the city. August continues to keep Hefei's weather enthusiasts on their toes, with the day's heat contrasted by the night's cool.

Temperature

July and August bring Hefei's highest average temperatures, reaching a high of 31.8°C (89.2°F).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
