Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August finds Uppodai at an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.3°C (90.1°F), closely comparable to July's conditions. The average temperature during August nights dips to a warm 25.8°C (78.4°F).Heat index
The heat index in August is estimated at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. 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 'feels like' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 transforms into these recommendations:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. 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. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
