Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August records an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.5°C (85.1°F), barely varying from July's 29.8°C (85.6°F). During August, Sajquim's temperature falls to a steady low-temperature average of 19.4°C (66.9°F).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned 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. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
