August, the last month of the summer in Cam, is also a hot month, with an average temperature varying between 72.1°F (22.3°C) and 90.7°F (32.6°C).

During August, Cam records an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.7°F (32.6°C), marking a slight divergence from July's 91°F (32.8°C). In August, the recorded average low-temperature is an agreeable 72.1°F (22.3°C).

Heat index

The heat index value for August is appraised at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
