Temperature

With average high and low temperatures of 31.3°C (88.3°F) and 27°C (80.6°F) respectively, August is Doumen's warmest month.

Heat index

In August, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during August, leads to the following recommendations:
Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
