August weather forecast
Mukaynis, Qatar

In August, Mukaynis experiences a slight reduction in temperature from the peak in July. The transition of weather from July allows for a marginal relief to the city-dwellers. The overall humidity increases a bit, coming off from the strikingly low humidity level of the previous month. The never-ending run of clear, sunny days is counteracted by relatively moderate wind activity, providing a little respite from the heat. Yet, the high heat and direct sunlight make it essential for everyone to take necessary precautions before stepping outdoors.

Temperature

Mukaynis, Qatar, marks the arrival of August with an average high-temperature of a still blistering 41.3°C (106.3°F), hardly different from July's 41.8°C (107.2°F). Mukaynis witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 32.6°C (90.7°F) throughout August.

Heat index

August's mean heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 55°C (131°F). Warning: These weather conditions are identified as particularly hazardous, with heatstroke imminent.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. 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 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Note: The maximum daily UV index of 9 in August interprets into the following recommendations:
Always be mindful of protection. The risk of damage to skin and eyes is significant if neglected. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation. Regardless of cloud cover, it's recommended to apply generously and reapply often a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, especially after swimming or any outdoor activity.
