Weather in August
Temperature
Temperature records mark August as the coldest month, with highs averaging 29.8°C (85.6°F) and lows at 24.8°C (76.6°F).Heat index
August's average heat index is evaluated at a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less 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. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
