Weather in August
Temperature
The coldest month is August, with an average high-temperature of 30.7°C and an average low-temperature of 23.1°C.Heat index
During August, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 40°C. Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. 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. 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 estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: An average UV index of 6 in August transforms into this advice:
Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious.
