Heat index

The heat index value during August is calculated to be a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. 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 heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in August is 75%.

Adhere to precautions and respect sun safety doctrines. Avoiding sunburn is vital. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays. Watch out! Reflections from sand and water can surge UV radiation exposure.
