Mymensingh in
August unfolds as a mirror image of the previous month, with minimal variations in most climatological parameters. The daily struggle between rains and sunlight continues unabated, keeping the city drenched in warm, humid air. August rainfall is recorded at a close 398mm (15.67"), placing it among the city's rainiest months. With nature flourishing in the face of deluges, Mymensingh wears a green blanket enhancing its tropical allure.
Temperature
The transition into August is marked with an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.2°C (88.2°F), showing an insignificant shift from
July's tropical 31.2°C (88.2°F). Mymensingh records an average nighttime low-temperature of 25.8°C (78.4°F) throughout August.
Heat index
The heat index in August is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
