Weather in August
Temperature
August is the coldest month, with an average high-temperature of 30.8°C (87.4°F) and an average low-temperature of 22.8°C (73°F).Heat index
For August, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
Humidity
With an average relative humidity of 78%, August is the most humid month.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 23.8 days and typically aggregates up to 115mm (4.53") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 9h.UV index
The months with the lowest UV index are January, June through October and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during August, leads to the following recommendations:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
