Weather in August
Temperature
During the coldest month, August, temperatures average a high of 31.8°C (89.2°F) and a low of 23.8°C (74.8°F).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Endorse precautions and be consistent with sun safety guidelines. Preventing sunburn is paramount. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period.
