The last month of the summer,
August, is another hot month in
Hua Hin,
Thailand, with temperature in the range of an average low of 25.5°C (77.9°F) and an average high of 33°C (91.4°F).
Temperature
In Hua Hin, the average high-temperature in August is essentially the same as in
July - a still hot 33°C (91.4°F). The average low-temperature, in August, is 25.5°C (77.9°F).
Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a burning hot 45°C (113°F).
Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like', 'apparent temperature', 'felt air temperature', or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Additional factors like activity, differences in body mass, height, and shape, metabolic differences, and wind affect individual temperature impact. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in August is 73%.
Rainfall
In August, the rain falls for 18 days. Throughout August, 71mm (2.8") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 118 rainfall days, and 955mm (37.6") of precipitation is accumulated.
Sea temperature
In Hua Hin, Thailand, the average seawater temperature in August is 29°C (84.2°F).
Note: For any water activity, surface water temperatures between 25°C (77°F) and 29°C (84.2°F) are considered as excellent and extremely pleasant for lengthened periods.

UV index
February through
October, with an average maximum UV index of 12, are months with the highest UV index in Hua Hin, Thailand. A UV Index value of 11, and more, symbolizes an excessive health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: The average daily UV index of 12 in August transform into the following instructions:
Practice all-important precautions. Light skin people may get burned in less than 5 minutes. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes. Even on cloudy days, a sunscreen with a minimum 30 sun protection factor should be generously applied and frequently re-applied, including after every swim or outdoor exercise. Beware! The strength of the UV rays is significantly increased by the reflection of the water and sand.
