Temperature

In August, the average high-temperature registers at a still tropical 32.6°C (90.7°F), nearly identical to July's 33.4°C (92.1°F). Kalna's temperature in August lowers to a consistent average of 26.5°C (79.7°F) during the nights.

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F). Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. 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 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
