August weather forecast
Tikapur, Nepal

August is a month where the floods mark the Tikapur landscape. The constant showers, however, begin to gradually recede indicating at the end of the monsoon phase. Despite this, the humidity stays relatively high, with an average relative humidity measuring 82%. The approach of autumn is subtly hinted at, as the city gears up for the eventual change in weather conditions.

Temperature

Tikapur's transition from July to August introduces an average high-temperature of a still warm 29°C (84.2°F), marking an insignificant variation from the 29.8°C (85.6°F). During August, Tikapur's temperature falls to a steady low-temperature average of 21.3°C (70.3°F).

Heat index

The heat index in August is appraised at a torrid 35°C (95°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual'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 extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
