The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Jhapa, Nepal, with an average temperature ranging between min 24.3°C (75.7°F) and max 30.8°C (87.4°F).

Temperature

The onset of August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.8°C (87.4°F), nearly matching the July temperature. In Jhapa, the average temperature during the nights of August drops to a warm 24.3°C (75.7°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for August is appraised at a blistering 40°C (104°F). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Humidity

In August, the average relative humidity in Jhapa is 79%.

UV index

March, June and August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: An average maximum UV index of 7 in August leads to these recommendations:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
