Weather in August
Temperature
Lau notes the coldest temperatures in August, with a high average of 29.4°C (84.9°F) and a low of 22.4°C (72.3°F).Heat index
The average heat index in August is estimated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. 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.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
Humidity
With an average relative humidity of 79%, August is the most humid month.Rainfall
August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 25.9 days and accumulates 149mm (5.87") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
August has the least sunshine of the year, with an average of 7.5h of sunshine.UV index
August and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: A daily maximum UV index of 6 in August translates into the following instructions:
Inhibit overexposure. Warding off sun damage is of utmost importance. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
