Weather in August
Temperature
August's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 32°C (89.6°F), slightly deviating from July's 32.3°C (90.1°F). During the month of August, an average low-temperature of 26.5°C (79.7°F) is recorded.Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
