Weather in August
Temperature
August brings the lowest temperatures, with an average high of 30.2°C (86.4°F) and an average low of 22.3°C (72.1°F).Heat index
For August, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. 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 quite important for children. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

With an average maximum UV index of 6, August is the month with the lowest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: In August, the average maximum UV index of 6 translates into the following recommendations:
Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
