Temperature

The average temperatures reach their apex in August, averaging 29.4°C (84.9°F) at the high end and 27.8°C (82°F) at the low end.

Heat index

The heat index in August is computed to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
