Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Rafaq, is also a fiery hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 36°C (96.8°F) and an average low of 30.1°C (86.2°F).

Temperature

The transition into August marks the average high-temperature at a still torrid 36°C (96.8°F), differing minimally from July's 36.9°C (98.4°F). The low-temperature averages to a hot 30.1°C (86.2°F) during the nights of August.

Heat index

August's mean heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. 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 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
