Weather in August
Temperature
August is the month when Mecca sees the highest average temperatures, with a high of 88°F (31.1°C) and a low of 80.4°F (26.9°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is evaluated at a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 25.3 days and typically aggregates up to 5.16" (131mm) of precipitation.Daylight

A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during August translates into the following recommendations:
Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
