Weather in August
The sweltering heat persists in Ar Raqqah in August, with temperatures averaging at a high of 38°C (100.4°F). August maintains the remarkable absence of rainfall, drawing the continuation of the arid summer scene. Humidity levels do have a slight rise to 41% but still remain extremely low. With 13.5 hours of daylight, the sun continues to dominate the sky for most of the day. Moving from August to September, there will be a slight cooldown, coupled with a break in the dry spell.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 05:31 and sunset at 19:28. On the last day of August, sunrise is at 05:55 and sunset at 18:53 +03.
