Weather in August
Temperature
In the transition from July to August, Chisholm reports an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.9°F (32.7°C), indicating a close resemblance to the prior month. In the month of August, the nighttime temperature dips to a steady average of 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. 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 evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests this advice:
Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
