Temperature

July's transformation into August witnesses an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.3°C (86.5°F), noting a minor change from the preceding month. Mentada throughout August, experiences an average nighttime temperature of 23.4°C (74.1°F).

Heat index

August's average heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. 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 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Note: In August, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
