Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August marks an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.8°C (85.6°F), hardly differing from July's 28.6°C (83.5°F). In Melgar, August nights cool down to an average of 18.6°C (65.5°F).Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be a hot 32°C (89.6°F). Prolonged exposure combined with continuous activity could lead to exhaustion, and possibly heat cramps.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
