Temperature

The average high-temperature in August, at a hot 34.4°C (93.9°F), reveals a modest deviation from July's 35.7°C (96.3°F). Qantab notes an average temperature descent to a moderately hot 29.8°C (85.6°F) in August, a small shift from its daytime peak.

Heat index

August's heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

In August, the average relative humidity is 57%.

Emphasize protection. Neglecting it can lead to swift damage to the skin and eyes. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun.
