On the advent of August, El Guamo's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still hot 33.8°C (92.8°F) from July's 34.1°C (93.4°F). El Guamo experiences an average low-temperature of 23.6°C (74.5°F) in month of August.

Heat index

August's heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 51°C (123.8°F). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold great significance to children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
