August continues the monsoon season in Rajkot, India, with even more rain than July and a total precipitation of 236mm (9.29"). The city experiences a dip in sunshine hours attributed to considerable cloud coverage and persistent rainfall. The UV index remains constant at 6, providing relief from the direct sun rays. August records relatively consistent wind speeds and temperatures compared to the previous month. Despite the humidity and cloud coverage, the rain brings a much-needed reprieve from the heat.

Temperature

The arrival of August sees a recorded average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.6°C (87.1°F), showing little divergence from the previous month's conditions. August in Rajkot witnesses a minor deviation from daytime peaks, with an average nighttime temperature of 25.8°C (78.4°F).

Heat index

The heat index in August is estimated at a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. 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 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
