Weather in August
Temperature
August is the warmest month of the year, registering average temperatures as high as 30.5°C (86.9°F) and as low as 21.3°C (70.3°F).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 35°C (95°F). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. 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 extremely significant for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
