The city of
Sarh continues its journey through the rainy season in
August. While the temperature stays on the cooler side for the city, the humidity is palpable. Rainfall continues to drench the city but with a slight decrease from
July. Amidst the downpours, the surprising amounts of sunshine weave their way through the clouds. The harmony between the rain, humidity, and temperature cultivates a thriving ecosystem for Sarh’s flora and fauna.
Temperature
Sarh reaches its lowest average temperatures in August, measuring 30.6°C (87.1°F) at the peak and 21.5°C (70.7°F) at the lowest.
Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance 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.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
