Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is a tropical month in Hwebalan, Myanmar, with an average temperature varying between 22.4°C (72.3°F) and 30.1°C (86.2°F).

Temperature

The advent of August denotes an average high-temperature of a tropical 30.1°C (86.2°F), subtly different from July's 28.8°C (83.8°F). In August, Hwebalan records an average nighttime temperature of 22.4°C (72.3°F).

Heat index

August's heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Humidity

In August, the average relative humidity is 88%.

UV index

Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests this advice:
Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
