Weather in August
Temperature
August, recording an average high temperature of 90.3°F (32.4°C) and a low temperature of 76.3°F (24.6°C), is Sumatra's warmest month.Heat index
August's heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 111.2°F (44°C). Stay on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Ongoing effort can cause heatstroke.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
Humidity
In August, the average relative humidity is 75%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 23.8 days and typically aggregates up to 4.17" (106mm) of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine

May 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 vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during August translates into the following recommendations:
Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
