Weather in August
Temperature
Chilanga in August records a high-temperature average of a still tropical 33°C (91.4°F), on par with July. Chilanga experiences a steady low-temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F) throughout August.Heat index
During August, the heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
