Weather in August
Temperature
With average high temperatures of 30.7°C (87.3°F) and lows of 21.1°C (70°F), August is the warmest month.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is appraised at a scorching 40°C (104°F). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
