Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August reveals an average high-temperature of a still very hot 35.3°C (95.5°F), showing minimal difference from the prior month. During August, the temperature is averaged to a low of 27°C (80.6°F) at night.Heat index
The heat index for August is computed to be a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
