Weather in August
Temperature
The highest temperatures are recorded in August, with averages reaching a high of 28.4°C (83.1°F) and a low of 22.8°C (73°F).Heat index
August's mean heat index is computed to be a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). Prolonged exposure combined with continuous activity could lead to exhaustion, and possibly heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. 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. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
