Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August notes an average high-temperature of a hot 33.8°C (92.8°F), subtly shifted from July's 36.3°C (97.3°F). During the nights in August, an average low-temperature of 25.3°C (77.5°F) is observed.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
