August weather forecast
Vũ Xá, Vietnam

August, the last month of the summer in Vũ Xá, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 26.2°C (79.2°F) and 32.3°C (90.1°F).

Temperature

The initiation of August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.3°C (90.1°F), displaying a near consistency with the previous month. During August, the average low-temperature is a moderately hot 26.2°C (79.2°F).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Humidity

In August, the average relative humidity is 80%.

Rainfall

The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 17.8 days and typically aggregates up to 61mm (2.4") of precipitation.

UV index

April through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 during August translates into the following directions:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 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. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
