Temperature

The arrival of August is marked by an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.5°C (85.1°F), bearing a close resemblance to July. Kadokan's nights in August cool down to an average low-temperature of 20.3°C (68.5°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during August is calculated to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. 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. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in August is 77%.

Rainfall

August is the month with the least rainfall. Rain falls for 8.9 days and accumulates 29mm (1.14") of precipitation.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are January through August, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: In August, the UV index of 6 transforms into the following advice:
Implement precautions and maintain sun safety methods. Avoidance of sunburn is demanded. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
