Weather in August

The average heat index in August is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
