Weather in August
Temperature
August, noted for its average high-temperature of 30.5°C (86.9°F) and an average low-temperature of 23.7°C (74.7°F), is considered the warmest month.Heat index
August's mean heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

In August, the average relative humidity is 80%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 18.5 days and typically aggregates up to 86mm (3.39") of precipitation.Daylight

January through April, August, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: In August, the average maximum UV index of 6 translates into the following recommendations:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
