August weather forecast
Paoay, Philippines

August, the last month of the summer in Paoay, is another warm month, with an average temperature varying between 29.5°C (85.1°F) and 25°C (77°F).

Temperature

The arrival of August denotes a barely perceptible change in the average high-temperatures to a still moderately hot 29.5°C (85.1°F) from July's 29.8°C (85.6°F). August introduces a small decrease to a nighttime average of 25°C (77°F) in Paoay.

Heat index

The average heat index in August is calculated to be a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. 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 relevant to children. 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, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Humidity

The months with the highest humidity are July through September, with an average relative humidity of 81%.

Rainfall

August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 27.3 days and accumulates 284mm (11.18") of precipitation.

UV index

February through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: A daily high UV index of 7 in August leads to these guidelines:
Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized.
