Weather in August
Temperature

For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
