August weather forecast
Abuyon, Philippines

August, the last month of the summer in Abuyon, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 25.5°C (77.9°F) and 30.3°C (86.5°F).

Temperature

As August takes its course, Abuyon's average high-temperature registers at a still tropical 30.3°C (86.5°F), closely aligning with the preceding month. A minimal decline in temperature from daytime highs is anticipated throughout the August nights, averaging a warm 25.5°C (77.9°F).

Heat index

During August, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Humidity

In August, the average relative humidity is 81%.

UV index

February through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: The UV index of 7 during August translates into the following guidance:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. During the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., UV radiation is highest. Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes. Alert! UV radiation becomes sharper due to reflections from sand and water.
