August weather forecast
Nueva Arenosa, Panama

The last month of the summer, August, is another warm month in Nueva Arenosa, Panama, with an average temperature varying between 29.1°C (84.4°F) and 24.2°C (75.6°F).

Temperature

August's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.1°C (84.4°F), slightly deviating from July's 28.9°C (84°F). Nueva Arenosa logs an average low-temperature of 24.2°C (75.6°F) during the nights of August, subtly lower than its daytime highs.

Heat index

The heat index in August is computed to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant 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.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Humidity

The months with the highest humidity are July, August and November, with an average relative humidity of 87%.

Rainfall

August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 29.4 days and accumulates 209mm (8.23") of precipitation.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in August is 7.6h.

UV index

January through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: A maximum high daily UV index of 7 during August translates into the following directions:
Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
