Temperature

The start of August marks an average high-temperature of a still hot 33.3°C (91.9°F), hardly distinguishable from the conditions in July. The low-temperature averages to an agreeable 21.8°C (71.2°F) during the nights of August.

Heat index

The heat index for August is computed to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Exercise precautions and adapt sun safety practices. Defence against skin and eye affliction is paramount. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense. Warning! Reflective surfaces like sand and water amplify the Sun's UV radiation.
