Weather in August
Temperature

For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
