August weather forecast
Aurora, Suriname

Aurora in August experiences the highest temperature of the year, marking 33.3°C (91.9°F) on the heat scale. Interestingly, the rainfall and relative humidity values continue to take a descending path. Despite the soaring temperatures, the UV index remains stable, and wind conditions do not demonstrate anything out of the ordinary. Augmented sunshine hours ensure brighter and longer days. Amidst these patterns, the August weather storyline in Aurora pivots around the peak temperatures and controlled rainfall and humidity.

Temperature

During August, Aurora observes a subtle ascent to a still hot 32°C (89.6°F) from July's 30.4°C (86.7°F) in the average high-temperature. Throughout August, Aurora records an average temperature of 20.4°C (68.7°F) at night.

Heat index

The heat index in August is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
