August weather forecast
Dantan, India

August, like July, is another tropical rainy (monsoon) season month in Dantan, India, with an average temperature ranging between min 26.5°C (79.7°F) and max 32.8°C (91°F).

Temperature

As Dantan transitions into August, the average high-temperature stands at a still tropical 32.8°C (91°F), offering little variation from the preceding month. Throughout August, Dantan witnesses a nighttime temperature average of 26.5°C (79.7°F).

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Humidity

In Dantan, the average relative humidity in August is 80%.

UV index

In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 transforms into these recommendations:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. 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. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
