August weather forecast
Al Qadam, Bahrain

August doesn't deviate from the scorching summer temperatures of July, both the high and low temperature averages remain largely similar. The notable change in weather conditions involves the reintroduction of rainfall into the mix, albeit in minute quantities. The landscape remains predominantly dry throughout August with only fractional humidity increase from July. Despite the heat, there is an abundance of sunshine guaranteed from up to 13 hours of daylight each day. These weather characteristics make August a continuation of the intense summer months in Al Qadam.

Temperature

Al Qadam's average high-temperature marks a still very hot 36.4°C (97.5°F) with the advent of August, closely mirroring that of the preceding month. Al Qadam, in August, registers an average low temperature of 33.4°C (92.1°F), showing a minute reduction from daily highs.

Heat index

August's mean heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of 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 body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Immediate care is essential; skin and eyes can be harmed in no time without it. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun. Despite the clouds, sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 should be used liberally and reapplied frequently, especially after a swim or outdoor workout.
