August weather forecast
Calabozo, Venezuela

As August arrives, the monsoon gradually retires. Although the rainfall reduces slightly to 225mm (8.86"), the city remains lush with life. On the flip side, temperatures slightly increase, hints of sunny days become visible, and the humidity levels remain high. The soul of Calabozo continues to exhibit resilience and adaptability.

Temperature

The transition into August marks the average high-temperature at a still warm 29.8°C (85.6°F), differing minimally from July's 29.4°C (84.9°F). Calabozo, in August, observes a steady average low-temperature of 22.1°C (71.8°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during August is calculated to be a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

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

Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
