Weather in August
Temperature
August brings the lowest temperatures, with an average high of 27.8°C (82°F) and an average low of 24°C (75.2°F).Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a hot 32°C (89.6°F). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. 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 are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.

Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
