Temperature

August's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still hot 31.3°C (88.3°F) from July's 32.4°C (90.3°F). A modest dip in temperatures to an average of 26.7°C (80.1°F) is observed throughout Khavda's August nights.

Heat index

For August, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
