August weather forecast
Charity, Guyana

Visible are fewer clouds in the sky and a drop in humidity levels in comparison to the prior months. Drastically diminishing to 82mm (3.23"), the lower rainfall comes as a welcome reprieve.

Temperature

A minor adjustment in Charity's average high-temperature is noted with the start of August, touching a still hot 32.2°C (90°F) from July's 30.7°C (87.3°F). During the month of August, the temperature falls to an average of 22.9°C (73.2°F).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. 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 great significance to children. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
