Weather in August
Temperature
August, characterized by an average high temperature of 31.3°C (88.3°F) and a low temperature of 25.1°C (77.2°F), is generally the warmest month.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

The months with the highest UV index are March through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: The UV index of 7 during August translates into the following guidance:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun.
