Temperature

August, marked by an average high-temperature of 31.9°C (89.4°F) and a low-temperature of 23°C (73.4°F), is the warmest month.

Heat index

The heat index for August is estimated at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
