Weather in August
Temperature
During the warmest month, August, temperatures average a high of 30.7°C (87.3°F) and a low of 25°C (77°F).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
