Temperature

Faragouaran records the coldest temperatures in August, averaging a high of 30.1°C (86.2°F) and a low of 21.9°C (71.4°F).

Heat index

August's mean heat index is estimated at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
