Weather in August
Temperature
August reports an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33.1°C (91.6°F), slightly varied from July's 34°C (93.2°F). In Bạch Mai, an average temperature of 25.5°C (77.9°F) is noted during August nights.Heat index
August's heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
Humidity
August and September, with an average relative humidity of 80%, are the most humid months.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 21.5 days and typically aggregates up to 135mm (5.31") of precipitation.Daylight
The average length of the day in August is 12h and 50min.On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 05:30 and sunset at 18:35. On the last day of August, sunrise is at 05:40 and sunset at 18:13 +07.
Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 9.5h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during August translates into these guidelines:
Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
