Weather in August
Temperature
In Al Karm, the peak average temperatures are observed in August, with a high of 32.4°C (90.3°F) and a low of 24.6°C (76.3°F).Heat index
During August, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: A daily maximum UV index of 7 in August translates into the following instructions:
Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
