Weather in August

August brings little relief to Giza's hot weather, with the summer's grip firm on the city. Temperatures recede marginally from July, albeit imperceptibly. The summer heat in the city remains an assertive factor in daily life. Wind speeds drop to an average of 13.9km/h (8.6mph). As August ends, it paves the path to cooling trends and increasing rainfall in the ensuing months.

Temperature

The transition from July to August in Giza sees an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 36.6°C (97.9°F), indicating a minor variance from the prior month. Giza experiences a drastic reduction from day temperatures to an average low of 23.3°C (73.9°F) in August.

Heat index

August's heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. 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 cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
