Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, a modest change to a still moderately hot 29.4°C (84.9°F) from July's 29.3°C (84.7°F) is noted in high-temperature. During the month of August, the temperature falls to an average of 19.2°C (66.6°F).Heat index
The average heat index in August is appraised at a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
