Weather in August
Temperature
The warmest month is August, with an average high-temperature of 30.8°C (87.4°F) and an average low-temperature of 21.6°C (70.9°F).Heat index
The heat index in August is estimated at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
