Temperature

The shift into August in Tamanredjo reveals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31°C (87.8°F), closely mirroring July's climate. Throughout August, Tamanredjo witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 24.1°C (75.4°F).

Heat index

The heat index for August is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. 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 extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in August is 79%.

Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary. 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. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
