Heat index

The heat index in August is computed to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. 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. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Humidity

June, August and September, with an average relative humidity of 75%, are the least humid months.

Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
