Weather in August
Temperature
August is the coldest month, exhibiting average temperatures of 30.2°C (86.4°F) at the peak and 22.3°C (72.1°F) at the base.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
Humidity
With an average relative humidity of 80%, August is the most humid month.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 24.3 days and typically aggregates up to 120mm (4.72") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
August has the least sunshine of the year, with an average of 7h of sunshine.UV index
August is the month with the lowest UV index, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during August translates into these guidelines:
Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. 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. Enhance your sun protection with tightly woven, yet airy clothing.
