Weather in August
Temperature
As July transitions into August, Ban Khong records an average high-temperature of a still warm 27.2°C (81°F), showing a gentle shift from the preceding month. August nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 17.9°C (64.2°F).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). Enduring exposure and continuous activity might cause a feeling of tiredness and induce heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical 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.
