August weather forecast
Calbiga, Philippines

The last month of the summer, August, is a tropical month in Calbiga, Philippines, with an average temperature fluctuating between 23.8°C (74.8°F) and 30.4°C (86.7°F).

Temperature

The advent of August denotes an average high-temperature of a hot 30.4°C (86.7°F), subtly different from July's 29.8°C (85.6°F). During the nights in August, an average low-temperature of 23.8°C (74.8°F) is observed.

Heat index

During August, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. 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', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

Humidity

April, May and August, with an average relative humidity of 82%, are the least humid months.

Rainfall

In August, the rain falls for 26.2 days. Throughout August, 104mm (4.09") of precipitation is accumulated. In Calbiga, during the entire year, the rain falls for 250 days and collects up to 834mm (32.83") of precipitation.

Note: In August, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears.
