August weather forecast
Bangkal, Philippines

August, the last month of the summer in Bangkal, is another warm month, with an average temperature varying between 29.7°C (85.5°F) and 24.3°C (75.7°F).

Temperature

The transition into August is marked with an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.7°C (85.5°F), showing an insignificant shift from July's 29.7°C (85.5°F). The average low-temperature, in August, is a still moderately hot 24.3°C (75.7°F).

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is computed to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Humidity

The months with the highest humidity are July through September, with an average relative humidity of 84%.

Rainfall

The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 25.4 days and typically aggregates up to 174mm (6.85") of precipitation.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index in Bangkal are February through June, August through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 transforms into these recommendations:
Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
