August brings a marginal elevation to a still hot 30.3°C (86.5°F) from July's 31.2°C (88.2°F) in Tumsar's average high-temperatures. Throughout the August nights, Tumsar encounters a low-temperature of 23.9°C (75°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in August is computed to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
