Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 27.1°C (80.8°F) from July's 27.2°C (81°F). Throughout August, Keppetipola records an average temperature of 18.4°C (65.1°F) at night.Heat index
The heat index value during August is calculated to be a hot 30°C (86°F). Persistently participating in activities during exposure may lead to fatigue and induce heat cramps.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
