Heat index

The heat index in August is computed to be a life-threatening hot 46°C (114.8°F). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. 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 hold particular importance for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in August is 77%.

Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
