Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August finds Cantaura at an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.8°C (87.4°F), closely comparable to July's conditions. An average low-temperature of 23.1°C (73.6°F) is observed during the August nights.Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
