Temperature

With its high average temperature of 90.1°F (32.3°C) and a low of 75.2°F (24°C), August is regarded as the warmest month.

Heat index

The heat index value for August is estimated at a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
