Temperature

Beme's temperature records reveal August as the coldest month, marked by average highs of 29.1°C (84.4°F) and lows of 21.5°C (70.7°F).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
