The coldest period falls in July and August, when the average high-temperature reaches 27.6°C (81.7°F).Heat index
For August, the heat index is appraised at a hot 31°C (87.8°F). With prolonged exposure and constant activity, one might feel exhausted and experience heat cramps.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
