Weather in August
Temperature
The warmest period, with an average high-temperature of 30.7°C (87.3°F), falls in August and September.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
