Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August notes an average high-temperature of a still warm 28.8°C (83.8°F), subtly shifted from July's 28.4°C (83.1°F). An average low-temperature of 22.8°C (73°F) is recorded in the month of August.Heat index
The heat index value for August is estimated at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. 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 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes. Be alert! The reflection of water and sand augments UV radiation intensity.
