Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Havelock, is another tropical month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 73.9°F (23.3°C) and 86.5°F (30.3°C).

Temperature

The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C), nearly identical to July's 87.4°F (30.8°C). Havelock's nighttime temperature during August is consistently averaged at a moderately hot 73.9°F (23.3°C).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

In August, the average relative humidity is 78%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in August interprets into the following recommendations:
Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
