Weather in August
Temperature
The month of August sees the lowest average temperatures, reaching 30.3°C (86.5°F) at the peak and 24.6°C (76.3°F) at the low.Heat index
For August, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
