The transition from July to August brings an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 35.3°C (95.5°F), barely different from July's 37.3°C (99.1°F). An average minimum temperature of 26.8°C (80.2°F) marks the month of August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
