Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August records an average high-temperature of a tropical 33.8°C (92.8°F), barely varying from July's 36.3°C (97.3°F). In the month of August, Alamini experiences an average low-temperature of 25.3°C (77.5°F).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
