Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.8°C (87.4°F), mirroring a close resemblance to July. Hulangamuwa's nighttime temperature in August drops to an average of 22.3°C (72.1°F).Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during August leads to these instructions:
Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. During the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., UV radiation is highest. Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
