Weather in August
Temperature
During the coldest month, August, temperatures average a high of 33.7°C (92.7°F) and a low of 25.3°C (77.5°F).Heat index
The heat index for August is calculated to be a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
