In comparison to
July,
August provides a slight respite from the heat, with temperatures sliding down a bit. The clear skies of
Chimbay are bright and overwhelming. An explosion of vibrant summer colors decorates the city. Each day lasts a little over 13.9 daylight hours, creating a golden glow during the evenings. From sunrises to sunsets, the beauty of the city is on full display.
Temperature
Chimbay experiences an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.4°C (90.3°F) with the onset of August, subtly varied from July's 34.4°C (93.9°F). In August, the nighttime temperature plummets remarkably from the daily apex to a steady average of 17°C (62.6°F).
Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a hot 34°C (93.2°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in August is 45.5%.
