August weather forecast
Capas, Philippines

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Capas, Philippines, with an average temperature fluctuating between 30.1°C (86.2°F) and 23.6°C (74.5°F).

Temperature

With the onset of August, the average high-temperature registers at a still hot 30.1°C (86.2°F), subtly different from July's 30.2°C (86.4°F). Throughout August, the temperature falls to an average low of 23.6°C (74.5°F).

Heat index

August's mean heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
