Weather in August
Temperature
August, with an average high of 30.8°C (87.4°F) and a low of 23.3°C (73.9°F), signifies the coldest month of the year.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
Humidity
With an average relative humidity of 73%, August is the most humid month.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 24.3 days and typically aggregates up to 154mm (6.06") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine

The months with the lowest UV index are January, July through September, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. 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. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
