Weather in August
Temperature
The month of August sees the lowest average temperatures, reaching 30.7°C (87.3°F) at the peak and 23.1°C (73.6°F) at the low.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a blistering 40°C (104°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. 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 sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
Humidity
August is the most humid month, with an average relative humidity of 79%.Rainfall
August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 24 days and accumulates 131mm (5.16") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
In Fottigue, the average sunshine in August is 8.7h.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 vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: The daily high UV index of 6 in August translates into this advice:
Endorse precautions and be consistent with sun safety guidelines. Preventing sunburn is paramount. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
