Weather in August

As Pakse, Laos moves into August, the weather pattern witnesses a subtle change. In tandem with declining daylight hours and a slight decrease in temperature, rainfall reaches its annual peak at a significant 524mm (20.63"). Interestingly, the prevalent humidity touches new heights, creating an enriched tropical environment. The weather in August hints at the imminent withdrawal of the monsoon season. However, the UV index remains at a yearly high, necessitating continued caution.

Temperature

August proves to be the coldest month, recording an average maximum temperature of 30.1°C (86.2°F) and a minimum temperature of 24.3°C (75.7°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in August is appraised at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly important for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
