The winds in August show a slight decrease, falling behind July’s high speed yet keeping a brisk pace for most of the day. The drop in rainfall is almost inconsequential, leaving the landscape dry and parched. A significant increase in sunshine duration is experienced now, presumably due to the minimal cloud coverage. Humidity stays at a moderate level, making the month quite pleasant. Even as pressure fluctuations proceed in a normally narrow band and temperatures remain stable, it is the wind that essentially drives this month's weather.

Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake.
