August weather forecast
Wuntho, Myanmar

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Wuntho, Myanmar, with an average temperature varying between 23.4°C (74.1°F) and 31.2°C (88.2°F).

Temperature

August observes an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.2°C (88.2°F), marking an insignificant difference from July's 30.3°C (86.5°F). During August, Wuntho records an average temperature of 23.4°C (74.1°F) at night.

Heat index

The heat index in August is computed to be a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. 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 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in August is 86%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are March through May, August and September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: The UV index of 7 during August leads to these advisories:
Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
