Weather in August
Temperature
In Taif, the month of August registers the lowest temperatures, averaging 34°C (93.2°F) at the peak and 25.7°C (78.3°F) at the lowest.Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in August is 69%.Rainfall
August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 19.8 days and accumulates 121mm (4.76") of precipitation.Daylight
The average length of the day in August is 12h and 37min.On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 06:45 and sunset at 19:32. On the last day of August, in Taif, sunrise is at 06:50 and sunset at 19:15 GMT.
Sunshine
The month with the least sunshine is August, with an average of 7.8h of sunshine.UV index
The months with the lowest UV index are January through March, July, August, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during August translates into the following recommendations:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
