Weather in August

While still simmering under the summer heat, August observes a marginal retreat in temperature in Jerusalem, Israel. Balmy nights pave the way for satisfying strolls along the beach under the moonlit sky. Residing at the tail end of summer, a faint dip in temperature to 33.4°C (92.1°F) from it's predecessor July's intense 33.2°C (91.8°F) is observed. As the mild winds of change start to blow, the curtain falls on the fiery summer. With the arrival of September, the climate sheds the excessive heat, inching towards more comforting conditions.

Heat index

Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
