Weather in August

August signals the winding down of summer whilst still reflecting the warm, dry climate typical of Cannes. With the highest recorded temperatures converging from 20.8°C (69.4°F) to 27.2°C (81°F), August officially takes the throne for the hottest month of the year. The coastal city continues to bask in the warm weather, but the longer, sunnier days slowly start to recede.

Temperature

Heat index

The average heat index in August is evaluated at 29°C (84.2°F). Continuing activity during long-lasting exposure might induce tiredness and result in heat cramps.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.

Take precautions and adopt sun safety practices. Protection against sunburn is obliged. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects. Beware! Reflecting off water and sand, UV rays are much stronger.
