August weather forecast
Letpadan, Myanmar

August observes the heaviest rainfall, with an average precipitation measuring up to 350mm (13.78"). This period is marked by consistent showers accompanied by perpetual cloud cover. The decreased sun's exposure paired with the continual rainfall often leads to decreased visibility in Letpadan. Although temperatures remain relatively stable, the high humidity in the air persistently offers a warm feel. Against the backdrop of continuing monsoon showers, windspeeds see a slight decrease.

Temperature

The coldest period in Letpadan falls in July and August, when the average high-temperature reaches 29.8°C (85.6°F).

Heat index

August's heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. 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. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Humidity

August and September, with an average relative humidity of 89%, are the most humid months in Letpadan.

UV index

January, June through September and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index in Letpadan. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: An average maximum UV index of 6 in August leads to these recommendations:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
