Weather in August
Temperature
August, on average, is the warmest month, registering a high temperature of 31.5°C (88.7°F) and a low of 25.7°C (78.3°F).Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
