Temperature

The coldest month is August, with an average high-temperature of 28.8°C (83.8°F) and an average low-temperature of 25.4°C (77.7°F).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days. Alert! UV radiation becomes sharper due to reflections from sand and water.
