The shift to August signals an average high-temperature of a torrid 35.5°C (95.9°F), subtly varied from July's 33.3°C (91.9°F). A noticeable downturn in temperature characterizes the August nights, averaging at an agreeable 21.6°C (70.9°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in August is calculated to be a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
