Weather in August
Temperature
Good Hope experiences a recorded average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.1°F (31.7°C) in August, closely aligned with July's 89.6°F (32°C). Throughout the month of August, the average temperature dips to a moderately hot 77.5°F (25.3°C) at night.Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a blistering 107.6°F (42°C). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Persist in precautions and follow sun safety policies. Keeping sunburn at bay is imperative. 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. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
