Temperature

August is Mucaba's warmest month, registering average high temperatures of 32.5°C (90.5°F) and lows of 16.8°C (62.2°F).

Heat index

The heat index in August is computed to be a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are April through September, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 transforms into these recommendations:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
