Temperature

With average temperatures fluctuating between a high of 34.4°C (93.9°F) and a low of 17.2°C (63°F), August stands out as the warmest month.

Heat index

The heat index in August is calculated to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are July and August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: An average maximum UV index of 7 in August leads to these recommendations:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
