Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Himalaya, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 89.2°F (31.8°C) and 75.7°F (24.3°C).

Temperature

With the advent of August, Himalaya's high-temperatures adjust to a still tropical 89.2°F (31.8°C), closely aligning with the preceding month. Himalaya experiences an average low-temperature reading of 75.7°F (24.3°C) throughout August.

Heat index

August's heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 109.4°F (43°C). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
