August weather forecast
Birdpur, India

August, the same as July, in Birdpur, India, is a hot rainy (monsoon) season month, with an average temperature varying between 34.6°C (94.3°F) and 27.7°C (81.9°F).

Temperature

August's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 34.6°C (94.3°F), demonstrating subtle variation from the preceding month. Nighttime temperatures consistently average a warm 27.7°C (81.9°F) during August.

Heat index

The average heat index in August is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Humidity

August and September, with an average relative humidity of 68%, are the most humid months.

Rainfall

In August, the rain falls for 20.2 days. Throughout August, 157mm (6.18") of precipitation is accumulated. In Birdpur, India, during the entire year, the rain falls for 93 days and collects up to 640mm (25.2") of precipitation.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are April through August, with an average maximum UV index of 8. A UV Index reading of 8 to 10 represents a very high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 8 in August converts into the following recommendations:
Take all necessary measures. Eyes and skin are at risk if left unprotected. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
