Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August reveals an average high-temperature of a tropical 30.2°C (86.4°F), mirroring a close resemblance to July. During the month of August, an average temperature of 19.5°C (67.1°F) is noted during the nights.Heat index
August's mean heat index is computed to be a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and 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 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
Humidity
In August, the average relative humidity is 73%.Rainfall
August is the month with the least rainfall. Rain falls for 9.3 days and accumulates 16mm (0.63") of precipitation.Daylight
The average length of the day in August is 12h and 2min.On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 06:25 and sunset at 18:26. On the last day of August, sunrise is at 06:18 and sunset at 18:21 -05.
Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 9h.UV index
The months with the lowest UV index are January through November, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: The UV index of 6 in August translates into these instructions:
Endorse precautions and be consistent with sun safety guidelines. Preventing sunburn is paramount. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious.
