Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.8°C (87.4°F), hardly diverging from July's 31.1°C (88°F). August records a small disparity from daytime temperatures, marking an average low-temperature of 26.8°C (80.2°F).Heat index
During August, the heat index is calculated to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: The daily maximum UV index of 7 in August interprets into the following advice:
Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Enhance your sun protection with tightly woven, yet airy clothing.
