July, in
Machilipatnam,
India, is another tropical rainy (monsoon) season month, with an average temperature ranging between min 25.4°C (77.7°F) and max 32.6°C (90.7°F).

The dawn of August sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.6°C (90.7°F), subtly contrasting with July's 33.7°C (92.7°F). In Machilipatnam, the nighttime temperature averages to a warm 25.4°C (77.7°F) during August.
Heat index
In August, the average heat index is estimated at a blistering 44°C (111.2°F).
Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in August is 74%.
