Weather in August
Temperature
Canture's temperature records reveal August as the coldest month, marked by average highs of 31°C (87.8°F) and lows of 23.1°C (73.6°F).Heat index
The heat index for August is evaluated at a scorching 43°C (109.4°F). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', 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. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
Humidity
The most humid month is August, with an average relative humidity of 86%.Rainfall
August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 27.7 days and accumulates 206mm (8.11") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine

August is the month with the lowest UV index, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 transforms into these recommendations:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
