Weather in August
Temperature
The highest temperatures are recorded in August, with averages reaching a high of 33.9°C (93°F) and a low of 23.5°C (74.3°F).Heat index
The average heat index in August is evaluated at a burning hot 51°C (123.8°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. 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 estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. 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 quite important for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Persist in precautions and follow sun safety policies. Keeping sunburn at bay is imperative. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
