Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August denotes a barely perceptible change in the average high-temperatures to a still hot 32.1°C (89.8°F) from July's 34.6°C (94.3°F). Throughout August, Gaya registers a consistent average low-temperature of 23.3°C (73.9°F).Heat index
In August, the heat index is appraised at a scorching 40°C (104°F). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. 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. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
