Temperature

With the onset of August, Barda's average high-temperature clocks in at a still hot 33°C (91.4°F), showing a minor fluctuation from the previous month. Throughout August, an average low-temperature of 21.5°C (70.7°F) is expected.

Heat index

August's heat index is evaluated at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in 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.
