Heat index

The heat index value during August is estimated at a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in August is 76%.

UV index

January through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete 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.
