Weather in August

In August, Gaur experiences a phase of post-monsoon transition. A downward trend in average temperature is observed, settling at 34.6°C (94.3°F). Rainfall decreases to 154mm (6.06"), yet August still remains one of the wettest months of the year. Winds begin to subside while cloud cover decreases slightly, leading to a relatively calmer environment. The UV index remains at 7 extending the need for sun protection.

Temperature

With the onset of August, the average high-temperature registers at a still hot 34.6°C (94.3°F), subtly different from July's 34.9°C (94.8°F). The low-temperature average for Gaur during August stands at a moderately hot 27.3°C (81.1°F).

Heat index

August's average heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 49°C (120.2°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in August is 70%.

UV index

In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in August interprets into the following recommendations:
Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
