The month of August sees the highest average temperatures, reaching 31.3°C (88.3°F) at the peak and 27.3°C (81.1°F) at the low.

Heat index

August's average heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
