As the months unfold, September beckons with the prospect of increasing rainfall. Most remarkable is the rise in the average wind gust speed to its yearly maximum of 11.6km/h (7.2mph). Meanwhile, temperatures range around 32°C (89.6°F) plus, providing a warm and windy experience.

Temperature

Lombe notes the warmest temperatures in August, with a high average of 32°C (89.6°F) and a low of 17.7°C (63.9°F).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

The months with the lowest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index, 6 in August, converts into the following recommendations:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
