The last month of the summer,
August, is another hot month in
Quzhou,
China, with an average temperature varying between 24.7°C (76.5°F) and 33.1°C (91.6°F).
Temperature
The average high-temperature in August, at a still hot 33.1°C (91.6°F), reveals a modest deviation from
July's 33.5°C (92.3°F). Throughout August, the average low-temperature records at a moderately hot 24.7°C (76.5°F).
Heat index
August's average heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F).
Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. 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. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
