Weather in August
Temperature
Zurmi's temperature records reveal August as the coldest month, marked by average highs of 31.2°C (88.2°F) and lows of 23.3°C (73.9°F).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial 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.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
