Weather in August
Temperature
August proves to be the coldest month, recording an average maximum temperature of 27.3°C (81.1°F) and a minimum temperature of 23.9°C (75°F).Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). With unrelenting exposure and activity, one might experience exhaustion, leading to potential heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
