Temperature

The commencement of August notes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.3°C (84.7°F), exhibiting little difference from the previous month. During the month of August, the nighttime temperature falls to an average of 21.2°C (70.2°F).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Emphasize additional safety, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is high. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

UV index

March through May, July through September, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: A maximum high UV index of 6 in August translates into the following recommendations:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
