Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Lebanon, is another hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 86.5°F (30.3°C) and min 65.8°F (18.8°C).

Temperature

During August, Lebanon records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), marking a slight divergence from July's 88.5°F (31.4°C). In August, Lebanon encounters an average low-temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C) during the night.

Heat index

August's average heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

August through November, with an average relative humidity of 73%, are the least humid months.

In August, the rain falls for 13.6 days. Throughout August, 2.56" (65mm) of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 150.2 rainfall days, and 31.18" (792mm) of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: A maximum UV index of 6 in August translates into the following recommendations:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
