Weather in August
Temperature
August, with its average high-temperature of 30.8°C (87.4°F) and an average low-temperature of 21.6°C (70.9°F), holds the record as the warmest month.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 9h.UV index
The months with the lowest UV index are January through May, July through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during August translates into these guidelines:
Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. During the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., UV radiation is highest. Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
