Weather in August
Temperature
August is the coldest month of the year, registering average temperatures as high as 33°C (91.4°F) and as low as 24.6°C (76.3°F).Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
