August weather forecast
Jiran, India

August, like July, is another hot rainy (monsoon) season month in Jiran, India, with an average temperature fluctuating between 30°C (86°F) and 23.7°C (74.7°F).

Temperature

The arrival of August denotes a barely perceptible change in the average high-temperatures to a still tropical 30°C (86°F) from July's 32.2°C (90°F). An average low-temperature of 23.7°C (74.7°F) is observed during August nights.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Humidity

With an average relative humidity of 82%, August is the most humid month.

Rainfall

August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 26.1 days and accumulates 308mm (12.13") of precipitation.

Sunshine

UV index

In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The daily high UV index of 7 in August translates into this advice:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
