Weather in August
Temperature
August, with an average high of 29.7°C (85.5°F) and a low of 26.3°C (79.3°F), signifies the warmest month of the year.Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
