Weather in August
Temperature
The coldest temperatures occur during August, when averages reach a peak of 30.3°C (86.5°F) and a low of 24.6°C (76.3°F).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is estimated at a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. 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.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Persist in precautions and follow sun safety policies. Keeping sunburn at bay is imperative. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection.
