As
August rolls in, the transition towards the end of summer becomes apparent. The slightly lower temperature high of 35.3°C (95.5°F) continues to retain the summer ambience in
Little Aden. Nonetheless, the rainfall remains low at 3mm (0.12"). Despite minor temperature dips, August largely manifests typical echoes of summertime. Notably, this month marks the commencement of a gradual decrease in the length of daytime.
Temperature
During August, the average high-temperature is a still sweltering 35.3°C (95.5°F), maintaining a close resemblance to that of the preceding month. The average temperature during August nights dips to a moderately hot 27.5°C (81.5°F).
Heat index
The heat index for August is appraised at a life-threatening hot 49°C (120.2°F).
Prudent: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Heatstroke becomes imminent with sustained exertion.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
