August, the same as July, in Maski, India, is another hot rainy (monsoon) season month, with an average temperature ranging between min 23.7°C (74.7°F) and max 30.8°C (87.4°F).

Temperature

The beginning of August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.8°C (87.4°F), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. The low-temperature averages to a moderately hot 23.7°C (74.7°F) during the nights of August.

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
