Temperature

In Jufureh, the lowest average temperatures are observed in August, with a high of 31.5°C (88.7°F) and a low of 25°C (77°F).

Heat index

August's heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
