Weather in August
Temperature
The coldest month is August, with an average high-temperature of 30.3°C (86.5°F) and an average low-temperature of 22°C (71.6°F).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is estimated at a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
Humidity
With an average relative humidity of 80%, August is the most humid month.Rainfall
August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 26.2 days and accumulates 160mm (6.3") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
The month with the least sunshine is August, with an average of 7.4h of sunshine.UV index
The months with the lowest UV index are August and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: During August, 6 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
