Weather in August
Temperature
The start of August sees the average high-temperature at a still hot 32°C (89.6°F), showing little difference from July's 34.4°C (93.9°F). In August, the average low-temperature is a warm 24.1°C (75.4°F).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is estimated at a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. 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. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
Humidity
With an average relative humidity of 64%, August is the most humid month.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 17.8 days and typically aggregates up to 119mm (4.69") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine

In Safana, the average daily maximum UV index in August is 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: A maximum UV index of 7 in August translates into the following recommendations:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
