Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still warm 28.6°C (83.5°F) from July's 28.4°C (83.1°F). Katakatai's average nighttime temperature in August modestly descends to a still warm 25.3°C (77.5°F).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 33°C (91.4°F). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
