Valenzuela, Philippines

As the city ventures into August, the air is thick with monsoon fervor. Rainfall intensifies to 40mm (1.57"), acting as a crescendo in the monsoonal symphony that plays in Valenzuela. While the temperature stays relatively high, an elevation in wind speed to 11.2km/h (7mph) brings about a calming resonance to the ambience. Despite the 50% cloud cover, the sun perseveres and manages to secure a respectable 8.5 hours of sunshine. Weather in August empathetically echoes the monsoonal ethos while maintaining the city’s dynamic rhythm.

Temperature

The average high-temperature is a still tropical 30.1°C (86.2°F) in August, hardly different from the 30.7°C (87.3°F) recorded in July. Valenzuela reports an average low-temperature of 25.7°C (78.3°F) during the subtly cooler August nights.

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
