Weather in August
Temperature
August tends to be the coldest month, with temperatures averaging a daily high of 28.6°C (83.5°F) and a low of 24.6°C (76.3°F).Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears. Be alert! The reflection of water and sand augments UV radiation intensity.
