Weather in August

For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). If one continues to be active during exposure, it might cause tiredness and subsequent heat cramps.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
