Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August signifies a minor shift to an average high-temperature of a still very hot 37.3°C (99.1°F), aligning closely with July. The temperature lowers to an average of 29°C (84.2°F) during August nights.Heat index
In August, the heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Sunshine

In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 8. A UV Index of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: A typical high UV index of 8 in August suggests the following recommendations:
Take all necessary measures. Eyes and skin are at risk if left unprotected. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
