August's advent presents an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.8°C (89.2°F), indicating a slight variation from the conditions of the previous month. Jamshedpur's nights in August cool down to an average low-temperature of 25.5°C (77.9°F).

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
