Weather in August
Temperature
August registers an average high-temperature of a tropical 33.1°C (91.6°F), slightly varied from July's 35.6°C (96.1°F). In August, the average low-temperature records at a warm 24.1°C (75.4°F) during the nights.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. 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. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
Humidity
August is the most humid month, with an average relative humidity of 66%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 20.8 days and typically aggregates up to 106mm (4.17") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 10.5h.UV index
In Bama, the average daily maximum UV index in August is 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during August translates into the following recommendations:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
