Weather in August
Temperature
August is the month when Canhamina experiences its coldest temperatures, averaging a high of 31.6°C (88.9°F) and a low of 23.2°C (73.8°F).Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 45°C (113°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. 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', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
Humidity
August and September, with an average relative humidity of 84%, are the most humid months.Rainfall
August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 26.7 days and accumulates 188mm (7.4") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
August has the least sunshine of the year, with an average of 6.5h of sunshine.UV index
With an average maximum UV index of 6, August is the month with the lowest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
