Weather in August
Temperature
The coldest period is August, when temperatures fluctuate between an average high of 30.2°C (86.4°F) and a low of 22.3°C (72.1°F).Heat index
During August, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

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 risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during August leads to these instructions:
Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. 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. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
