August weather forecast
Pandacan, Philippines

The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Pandacan, Philippines, with an average temperature varying between 25.7°C (78.3°F) and 30.2°C (86.4°F).

Temperature

August's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.2°C (86.4°F), barely different from July's 30.7°C (87.3°F). A modest decline from daytime high temperatures is noticed in August, marking the average low at a moderately hot 25.7°C (78.3°F).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
