Weather in August
Temperature
With an average high-temperature of 31.8°C (89.2°F) and an average low-temperature of 24.2°C (75.6°F), August is the coldest month.Heat index
During August, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Sunshine

The average daily maximum UV index in August is 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: A maximum high UV index of 7 in August translates into the following recommendations:
Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
