August is the coldest month, with an average high-temperature of 28.9°C (84°F) and an average low-temperature of 21.9°C (71.4°F).

Heat index

August's average heat index is computed to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance 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.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
