Plan around the heat, not just the sunshine
This is not a month to treat afternoon heat as an occasional inconvenience: 94% of days reach 30°C. Put your longer walks early in the day, leave room for an indoor break, and avoid an itinerary that depends on being outside continuously. The warmest 10% of days reach at least 39°C, so you need flexibility if your stay coincides with more intense heat. Air-conditioned accommodation is a sensible priority, especially if warm bedrooms disturb your sleep. Evenings offer relief from daytime highs, but they are still warm rather than reliably cool. Loose clothing, regular drinks and shade should shape your daily routine.
Dry weather makes packing easier
August is very dry, with about 0 rainy days, so waterproof clothing is a lower priority than sun protection. That does not guarantee a completely rain-free stay, but wet weather is unlikely to be the main constraint on your plans. There are about 11.6 hours of sunshine a day, giving you plenty of bright weather without needing to spend the hottest part of it outdoors. Pack breathable clothes, a sunhat, sunglasses and sunscreen, and carry water when heading out. The practical catch is that sunshine and comfortable sightseeing weather are not the same thing here: build in shade and indoor time rather than trying to use every sunny hour.
