August perpetuates the high-temperature trend, mirroring the heat level of
July. Despite the continuity in temperature, the city records the maximum amount of rainfall this year at 354mm (13.94") over eighteen days. It seems as though August compensates for the heat with abundant showers, keeping the city cool. In essence, August contrives a blend of extreme weather parameters, making it a unique month in terms of climate.
Temperature
In
Shenzhen,
China, the warmest months are July and August, registering an average high-temperature of 32.3°C (90.1°F).
Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is appraised at a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F).
Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
