Weather in August
Temperature
August is the warmest month, exhibiting average temperatures of 30.5°C (86.9°F) at the peak and 23.7°C (74.7°F) at the base.Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important 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.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
