Temperature

Gothi's weather, upon August's arrival, documents an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29°C (84.2°F), nearly identical to the prior month. Gothi reports an average nighttime low-temperature of 21.3°C (70.3°F) in August.

Heat index

The heat index for August is estimated at a torrid 35°C (95°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
