August weather forecast
Barbar, Bahrain

While temperatures remain high, they register a slight decline with the maximum average temperature dropping to 36.4°C (97.5°F). A discernible increase in relative humidity to 58% hints at the impending end of the sweltering summer. The charm of gentle winds, at an average of 15.4km/h (9.6mph), adds to the climate’s allure. The daylight hours very slightly decrease to 13 hours, however, outdoor activities are still noticeably boundless.

Heat index

The average heat index in August is appraised at a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Note: The UV index of 9 during August leads to these advisories:
Immediate damage can occur to skin and eyes if left unprotected. Always take necessary precautions. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck. After a swim or an outdoor workout, generously apply and regularly reapply a sunscreen with at least SPF 30, even if the day is cloudy.
