Weather in August

The last month of the winter, August, is another hot month in Kumai, Indonesia, with an average temperature varying between 22.7°C (72.9°F) and 32.8°C (91°F).

Temperature

The beginning of August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.8°C (91°F), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. Kumai, in August, witnesses an average low-temperature of 22.7°C (72.9°F).

Heat index

August's average heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Stay on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Ongoing effort can cause heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

UV index

Note: In August, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
