August weather forecast
Arismendi, Venezuela

August, the last month of the summer in Arismendi, is another warm month, with an average temperature varying between 22.1°C (71.8°F) and 29.8°C (85.6°F).

Temperature

The onset of August marks an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.8°C (85.6°F), hardly differing from July's 29.4°C (84.9°F). August nights observe an average temperature dip to an agreeable 22.1°C (71.8°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for August is estimated at a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Humidity

The months with the highest humidity are July and August, with an average relative humidity of 88%.

Take precautions and adopt sun safety practices. Protection against sunburn is obliged. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
