Weather in August
Temperature

The heat index in August is estimated at a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). Enduring exposure and unrelenting activity might cause a state of weariness, potentially leading to heat cramps.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
