While
August barely takes a step back from the stifling heat of
July, a slight dip to 38°C (100.4°F) from 39°C (102.2°F) delivers some respite. The weather remains scorching, reminiscent of its predecessor, July. With August, long hours of uninterrupted sunlight and a high UV index continue to be prominent. This month continues the city's journey through a period of intense sunlight with a very strong UV index of 11. The slow decrease in daytime temperature from this month onwards becomes a subtle nod to the eventual arrival of autumn.

Undertake all key precautions, as unprotected skin and eyes may get burns in no time. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck. Sunscreen of at least SPF 30 should be applied generously and reapplied often on overcast days, especially post swim or outdoor exercise.
