Weather in August
Temperature
The ushering in of August brings an average high-temperature of a still very hot 35.3°C (95.5°F), closely mirroring the 37.2°C (99°F) of July. Dori observes an average nighttime temperature of 27°C (80.6°F) during August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Always take precautions; unprotected eyes and skin can be damaged rapidly. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection.
