Weather in August
Temperature
August tends to be the coldest month, with temperatures averaging a daily high of 30.7°C (87.3°F) and a low of 22.4°C (72.3°F).Heat index
During August, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 40°C (104°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
