Weather in August
Temperature
August is the month that records the highest temperatures, with averages ranging from a high of 29.3°C (84.7°F) to a low of 17.3°C (63.1°F).Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a hot 31°C (87.8°F). Long-lasting exposure and activity potentially induce a sense of weariness, with the risk of heat cramps.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
