August weather forecast
Janakpur, Nepal

August brings continuity to the monsoon season in Janakpur, Nepal, with 161mm (6.34") of rainfall spread across the month. While moving slightly downwards from July, the weather is still dominated by frequent and abundant rain showers. The persistence of hefty showers affects the weather making the environment slick with moisture. Amid the high humidity, temperatures start to show a mild dip, signaling a slow march towards the end of the broiling summer. Thus, August is typically a transition phase from the heavy monsoon towards the forthcoming autumn season.

Janakpur records an average high-temperature of a still hot 34.2°C (93.6°F) in August, maintaining a close correlation with July's 34.3°C (93.7°F). In Janakpur, the August nights cool down to an average low of 26.8°C (80.2°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during August is computed to be a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. 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 highly important for children. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
