Weather in
Tianjin in
August is a near replica of
July, maintaining the summery zeal although with slightly less rainfall. The amount of daylight hours diminishes, but the UV index is still at a peak. Temperatures remain almost identically high as they oscillate between 21.9°C (71.4°F) and 30.2°C (86.4°F).
Temperature
Entering August, the average high-temperature is recorded at a still tropical 30.2°C (86.4°F), exhibiting a minimal shift from July's 31°C (87.8°F). In the month of August, an average of 21.9°C (71.4°F) marks the low-temperature.
Heat index
August's mean heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. 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 human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
Humidity
With an average relative humidity of 77%, August is the most humid month.

UV index
June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 9, are months with the highest UV index in Tianjin. A UV Index value of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: In August, the UV index of 9 transforms into the following advice:
Refrain from exposing skin and eyes. Without protection, they can get damaged rapidly. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays. Post an outdoor workout or swimming, a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen should be applied generously and frequently.
