Weather in August
Temperature
The ushering in of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 34.3°C (93.7°F), closely mirroring the 34.7°C (94.5°F) of July. From significant daily highs, Gengwa's nights in August cool down to an average low-temperature of 21.8°C (71.2°F).Heat index
The heat index value during August is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Observe: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is on the horizon with prolonged exertion.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
