Weather in August
Temperature
Temperature records mark August as the coldest month, with highs averaging 27°C (80.6°F) and lows at 21.3°C (70.3°F).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a hot 31°C (87.8°F). Enduring exposure and ongoing activity could cause a sense of fatigue and subsequent heat cramps.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
