Weather in August
Temperature
August is the coldest month, with the temperature often reaching an average high of 34°C (93.2°F) and an average low of 25.7°C (78.3°F).Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 46°C (114.8°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. 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 particularly relevant to children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
Humidity
In August, the average relative humidity in Gadiali is 69%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 19.8 days and typically aggregates up to 121mm (4.76") of precipitation.Daylight

The months with the lowest UV index are January through March, July, August, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: An average UV index of 7 in August transforms into this advice:
Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
