Weather in August
Temperature
August, with its average high-temperature of 31.8°C (89.2°F) and an average low-temperature of 25.8°C (78.4°F), holds the record as the warmest month.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
