Weather in August
Temperature
With an average high-temperature of 30.8°C (87.4°F) and an average low-temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F), August is the coldest month.Heat index
August's heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Endorse precautions and be consistent with sun safety guidelines. Preventing sunburn is paramount. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
