The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Masambong, Philippines, with an average temperature ranging between min 25.5°C (77.9°F) and max 30.3°C (86.5°F).

August commences with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.3°C (86.5°F), showing little deviation from July's 30.7°C (87.3°F). Masambong, in the month of August, notes an average low temperature of 25.5°C (77.9°F), indicating a small decrease from the daytime highs.

Heat index

During August, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. 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 extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

August and September, with an average relative humidity of 81%, are the most humid months.
