Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August marks an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.7°F (32.6°C), hardly differing from July's 91.8°F (33.2°C). Throughout the month of August, the average temperature dips to an agreeable 72.1°F (22.3°C) at night.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Sunshine
In Rhodes, the average sunshine in August is 10.4h.UV index
May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: In August, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
