Weather in August
Temperature
August is the coldest month, with an average high-temperature of 30.8°C (87.4°F) and an average low-temperature of 25.9°C (78.6°F).Heat index
The average heat index in August is appraised at a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 16.8 days and accumulates 92mm (3.62") of precipitation.Daylight

The months with the lowest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during August translates into these guidelines:
Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
