August weather forecast
Amleang, Cambodia

August follows suit, tracing July's weather pattern with slight changes in temperature and humidity rates. Marking the gradual progression towards drier months, August offers a respite from the pervasive humidity, albeit minor. This month exhibits a comfortable range of temperatures and consistent rainfall patterns, making it relatively uneventful. Despite the slight changes in these parameters, humidity holds steady at 76%.

Temperature

August's average high-temperature stands at a still tropical 32.8°C (91°F), showing little deviation from July's 32.4°C (90.3°F). August is noted for a mean low-temperature of 24.8°C (76.6°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in August is appraised at a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in August is 76%.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized.
