August weather forecast
Chaung-U, Myanmar

August, the last month of the summer in Chaung-U, is also a hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 32.5°C (90.5°F) and an average low of 25.7°C (78.3°F).

Temperature

Entering August, the average high-temperature is recorded at a still hot 32.5°C (90.5°F), exhibiting a minimal shift from July's 33°C (91.4°F). Chaung-U cools down to an average low-temperature of 25.7°C (78.3°F) throughout the month of August.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

UV index

The average daily maximum UV index in August is 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests these recommendations:
Inhibit overexposure. Warding off sun damage is of utmost importance. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
