Weather in August

August, synonymous with Jordan's infamous torrid summer, prolongs the no-rainfall trend from July. There is a slight increase in both the minimum temperature and relative humidity, auguring warmer nights. Days remain long with abundant sunshine, whilst a diminished cloud cover reveals clear skies. Resultantly, outdoor activities are often planned around the mornings or late evenings to avoid the afternoon heat. Despite being the pinnacle of summer, the atmospheric pressure remains steady, providing consistent weather conditions.

Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion.

Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body.
