Temperature

A minor adjustment in Bantigue's average high-temperature is noted with the start of August, touching a still moderately hot 29.8°C (85.6°F) from July's 29.4°C (84.9°F). Throughout August, a modest shift from daytime highs is anticipated, with an average low-temperature of 27.6°C (81.7°F).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by 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. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. To best shield against UV radiation, choose sun-safe garments and dependable sunglasses. Be wary! Reflections from sand and water make UV radiation more intense.
