Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Mekla, Algeria, with an average temperature varying between 31.1°C (88°F) and 22.2°C (72°F).

Temperature

The initiation of August sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.1°C (88°F), showing minor variations from the previous month. During August nights, Mekla witnesses a consistent average temperature of 22.2°C (72°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during August is appraised at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 hold great significance to children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
