Temperature

August's advent notes a subtle adjustment in average high-temperature to a still torrid 36.8°C (98.2°F) from July. An average low-temperature of 31.4°C (88.5°F) is recorded during the nights in August in Hormuz.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 50°C (122°F). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

UV index

May and August, with an average maximum UV index of 9, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The daily high UV index of 9 in August translates into this advice:
Be vigilant. Without due care, eyes and skin can be harmed in no time. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat. Even when it's cloudy, ensure the generous application and frequent reapplication of a sunscreen with at least 30 SPF, particularly post swim or outdoor activity.
