Weather in August
Temperature
July and August represent the warmest period, with an average high-temperature of 89.8°F (32.1°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is computed to be an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun. Take heed! Reflections of sand and water make the Sun's UV rays stronger.
