Weather in August
Temperature
The coldest period is August, when temperatures fluctuate between an average high of 31.8°C (89.2°F) and a low of 25.8°C (78.4°F).Heat index
In August, the heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in August is 73%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 17.1 days and typically aggregates up to 90mm (3.54") of precipitation.Daylight
The average length of the day in August is 12h and 36min.On the first day of August, sunrise is at 06:53 and sunset at 19:39. On the last day of the month, sunrise is at 06:57 and sunset at 19:22 GMT.
Sunshine
The month with the least sunshine is August, with an average of 7.9h of sunshine.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are January through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Sustain precautions and conform to sun safety norms. Preventing sunburn is necessary. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
