Weather in August
Temperature

During August, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 30°C (86°F). Enduring exposure and continuous activity might cause a feeling of tiredness and induce heat cramps.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
