Weather in August
Temperature
The introduction of August notes a subtle temperature variation to a still moderately hot 27.1°C (80.8°F) from July's 27.2°C (81°F). Kalagolla registers a consistent average low-temperature of 18.4°C (65.1°F) during August.Heat index
August's average heat index is estimated at a hot 30°C (86°F). Persistently participating in activities during exposure may lead to fatigue and induce heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to 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.
