Weather in August
Temperature
August, noted for its average high-temperature of 29.8°C (85.6°F) and an average low-temperature of 19.9°C (67.8°F), is considered the warmest month.Heat index
The heat index value during August is evaluated at a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
