Weather in August
Temperature
August registers as the month with the highest average temperatures, reaching 32.4°C (90.3°F) at its peak and 22.2°C (72°F) at the lowest.Heat index
August's mean heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
