Weather in August
Temperature
August, with its average high-temperature of 29.9°C (85.8°F) and an average low-temperature of 22.8°C (73°F), holds the record as the coldest month.Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
