Weather in August
Temperature
Temperature readings reach their annual highs in August, averaging 29.8°C (85.6°F) and a minimum average of 24.7°C (76.5°F).Heat index
The heat index for August is evaluated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. 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.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.Note: In August, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. 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. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
