Temperature

August's advent notes a subtle adjustment in average high-temperature to a still tropical 30.8°C (87.4°F) from July. An average temperature of 23.6°C (74.5°F) marks the nights in Tisma in August.

Heat index

August's average heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Humidity

In August, the average relative humidity is 80%.

Note: In August, the UV index of 7 transforms into the following advice:
Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
