August weather forecastNiklah, Egypt

Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another torrid month in Niklah, Egypt, with an average temperature fluctuating between 23°C (73.4°F) and 37°C (98.6°F).

Temperature

The arrival of August marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 37°C (98.6°F) from July's 37.3°C (99.1°F). Marked by a significant temperature drop from daytime highs, the average nighttime temperature lowers to a moderately hot 23°C (73.4°F) throughout August.

Heat index

The heat index value during August is computed to be a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical for 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 natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. 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. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Sunshine

August has the most sunshine of the year, with an average of 12.5h of sunshine.

UV index

In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 during August translates into the following directions:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
