Weather in August
Temperature
August is the coldest month, with an average high-temperature of 34°C (93.2°F) and an average low-temperature of 25.7°C (78.3°F).Heat index
In August, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. 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 hold particular importance for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
Humidity
In August, the average relative humidity is 69%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall in Gapas is August, when the rain falls for 19.8 days and typically aggregates up to 121mm (4.76") of precipitation.Daylight

The months with the lowest UV index are January through March, July, August, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: The UV index of 7 during August leads to these advisories:
Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
