August continues to maintain the high heat levels of Summer in
Suez, with temperatures slightly dipping to 35.7°C (96.3°F) from
July's peak. The sea temperature reaches its zenith, making it a great time for various water activities. Relative humidity also witnesses an increase, resulting in warmer evening temperatures. Despite the expected heat, the extended hours of daylight ensure ample time for outdoor explorations.
Temperature
On the advent of August, Suez's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still very hot 35.7°C (96.3°F) from July's 36.1°C (97°F). In Suez, the average nighttime temperature during August is a warm 24.2°C (75.6°F).
Heat index
August's average heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F).
Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
