Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August shows a subtle variation to a still fiery hot 35°C (95°F) from July's 36.9°C (98.4°F) in the average high-temperature. Raha observes an average nighttime temperature of 27.4°C (81.3°F) during August.Heat index
August's heat index is appraised at a scorching 40°C (104°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
