August weather forecast
Gothi, Nepal

Compared to July, August's weather in Gothi, Nepal, exhibits reduced rainfall, but the overall conditions remain largely wet. This month continues to experience monsoon, high level of humidity, and relatively cooler temperature. Simultaneously, the wind speed further dips down, shaping a windless and humid environment. Furthermore, cloud cover in August remains high, further lowering visibility. Despite the reduction in temperature and rainfall, August's weather is characterized by high humidity and persistent cloud cover.

Temperature

The transition from July to August brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 29°C (84.2°F), barely different from July's 29.8°C (85.6°F). During August, Gothi experiences a consistent low-temperature average of 21.3°C (70.3°F).

Heat index

August's heat index is estimated at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

August is the most humid month, with an average relative humidity of 82%.

Note: The UV index of 6 during August leads to these advisories:
Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat.
