As August arrives in Al Khiran, the desert city continues to endure the extreme summer heat. The high temperatures persist, almost matching those seen in July, however, a drop from the peak summer highs can be observed. The city perseveres through long, hot days under a vigorous sun which reflects in a high UV index of 9.

Heat index

For August, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

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. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears. Applying and reapplying liberally a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ every two hours, and straight after a swim or outdoor activity is recommended.
