In August, despite a marginal rise in rainfall from 80mm (3.15") to 96mm (3.78"), the overall climate remains consistent with the previous month. Gradual warming of temperature marks this month with the underlying humidity values remaining nearly constant. Furthermore, the slight increase in wind speed portends a change in the weather condition. The semblance of a drier season continues, contributing to the city's warm and agreeable tropical climate. The weather in Ganzi during August provides a perfect combination of sunshine, mild rain, and pleasant temperature.

Temperature

Ganzi registers an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.6°C (85.3°F) at the commencement of August, closely related to the preceding month. During the month of August, the temperature generally drops to a low average of 20.3°C (68.5°F).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. 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. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
