Weather in August
Temperature
The coldest temperatures occur during August, when averages reach a peak of 31.8°C (89.2°F) and a low of 24.2°C (75.6°F).Heat index
During August, the heat index is appraised at a scorching 40°C (104°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. 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. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
