Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature during August is a still hot 33°C (91.4°F), almost matching the conditions of the preceding month. During the month of August, the temperature falls to an average of 21.6°C (70.9°F).Heat index
August's heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
Humidity
August and September, with an average relative humidity of 76%, are the least humid months.Rainfall
The month with the least rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 12.8 days and typically collects 30mm (1.18") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
With an average of 8.6h of sunshine, August has the most sunshine of the year.UV index
July through October, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: In August, the UV index of 7 transforms into the following advice:
Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
