Weather in August

Moving into August, Singapore experiences a steady continuity in its typical climate conditions. An insignificant drop in sea temperatures does little to affect the pleasant swimming conditions typical of Singapore's tropical environment. Unlike the fluctuating climates in several parts of the world, Singapore in August retains the steady rhythm of rainfall, temperature, and humidity. The change from July to August is inconspicuous, proving the consistency of Singapore's tropical weather patterns. These conditions further enhance the charm of this city-state for its inhabitants and visitors.

Singapore marks the start of August with an average high temperature of a still hot 30.9°C (87.6°F), mirroring the readings from July. Singapore's nights in August cool down to an average low-temperature of 24.5°C (76.1°F).

Heat index

The heat index for August is computed to be a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
