Weather in August
Temperature
In La Guama, the peak average temperatures are observed in August, with a high of 30.8°C (87.4°F) and a low of 21.6°C (70.9°F).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
