Temperature

August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.7°C (89.1°F), nearly identical to the preceding month. Throughout August, Sathamba registers a consistent average low-temperature of 25.8°C (78.4°F).

Heat index

The heat index in August is appraised at a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Take precautions and adopt sun safety practices. Protection against sunburn is obliged. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
