Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August marks the average high-temperature at a still tropical 31.1°C (88°F), differing minimally from July's 32.8°C (91°F). Wugang experiences an average low-temperature reading of 21.9°C (71.4°F) throughout August.Heat index
August's heat index is computed to be a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
