August weather forecast
Taichung, Taiwan

August continues the high-temperature trend set in July but with a slight decline. The weather remains hot, and the rain continues to grace the city but at a lower frequency. These hot, rainy days and the unique, inherent beauty they bring make August a fascinating month in Taichung. As the city transitions from its hottest month to slightly milder temperatures, visitors can enjoy a variety of activities and sights that are unique to this time of year.

Temperature

As Taichung steps into August, the average high-temperature is measured at a still tropical 32.6°C (90.7°F), displaying minor differences from July's 33°C (91.4°F). August's nights observe an average temperature of 25.1°C (77.2°F).

Heat index

August's mean heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 46°C (114.8°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 are particularly relevant to children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
