Weather in August

August in Thumrait, Oman witnesses a slight rebound in heat, with fleeting highs reaching 38.2°C (100.8°F).

Thumrait starts August with an average high-temperature of a still fiery hot 38.2°C (100.8°F), hinting at a minimal fluctuation from July. Thumrait encounters a significant temperature differential, with an average low-temperature of 23.3°C (73.9°F) during August nights.

Heat index

The average heat index in August is appraised at a burning hot 54°C (129.2°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
