Weather in August
Temperature
The warmest period tends to be August, when average temperatures fluctuate between a high of 30.8°C (87.4°F) and a low of 21.6°C (70.9°F).Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 in August interprets into the following recommendations:
Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
