August weather forecast
Balangkayan, Philippines

August, the last month of the summer in Balangkayan, is another tropical month, with an average temperature ranging between max 30.8°C (87.4°F) and min 25.4°C (77.7°F).

Temperature

August, noted for its average high-temperature of 30.8°C (87.4°F) and an average low-temperature of 25.4°C (77.7°F), is considered the warmest month.

Heat index

The average heat index in August is evaluated at a blistering 40°C (104°F). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

August is the least humid month, with an average relative humidity of 78%.

Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear. Be wary! Reflections from sand and water make UV radiation more intense.
