Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.2°F (31.8°C), barely different from July's 90°F (32.2°C). Throughout August, Himalaya witnesses a nighttime temperature average of 75.7°F (24.3°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
Humidity
July through September and December, with an average relative humidity of 79%, are the most humid months.Rainfall
In Himalaya, in August, during 22.3 rainfall days, 3.86" (98mm) of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 166.9 rainfall days, and 25.39" (645mm) of precipitation is accumulated.Snowfall

Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 10.5h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index in Himalaya are May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: An average UV index of 7 in August transforms into this advice:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized.
