August's average high-temperature is a still hot 31.1°C (88°F), maintaining a close comparison with July's 31.5°C (88.7°F). Throughout the month of August, the nighttime temperature in Liranga dips to an average of 21.6°C (70.9°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in August is computed to be a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Humidity

In August, the average relative humidity is 75%.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are August through October, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: In August, the UV index of 6 transforms into the following advice:
Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. During the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., UV radiation is highest. Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
