Weather in August
Temperature
Golden Spring's temperatures tend to reach their peak averages in August, with a high of 30.3°C (86.5°F) and a low of 24.2°C (75.6°F).Heat index
For August, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
Humidity
In Golden Spring, the average relative humidity in August is 79%.Rainfall
In Golden Spring, in August, it is raining for 27.8 days, with typically 131mm (5.16") of accumulated precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 310.9 rainfall days, and 1286mm (50.63") of precipitation is accumulated.Daylight

Sunshine
The months with the most sunshine are August and September, with an average of 10.8h of sunshine.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are June through October, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: An average maximum UV index of 7 in August leads to these recommendations:
Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less 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. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
