Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 90°F (32.2°C), barely varying from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). During August, the temperature tends to dip to an average of 73.9°F (23.3°C) at night.Heat index
The heat index value for August is estimated at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
Humidity
In August, the average relative humidity is 80%.Rainfall
August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 18.9 days and accumulates 3.5" (89mm) of precipitation.Snowfall
In China, snow does not fall in February through December.Daylight

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 9.9h.UV index
In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: In August, a daily maximum UV index of 6 leads to the following instructions:
Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
