August weather forecast
Quang Húc, Vietnam

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Quang Húc, Vietnam, with an average temperature fluctuating between 31.9°C (89.4°F) and 24.4°C (75.9°F).

Temperature

A minimal variation is noted in Quang Húc's average high-temperature at the onset of August, reaching a still hot 31.9°C (89.4°F) from July's 32.9°C (91.2°F). Quang Húc reports a consistent average low-temperature of 24.4°C (75.9°F) throughout August nights.

Heat index

August's average heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. 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.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Humidity

The months with the highest humidity are August and September, with an average relative humidity of 83%.

Rainfall

August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 26.8 days and accumulates 317mm (12.48") of precipitation.

UV index

April through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: In August, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun 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.
