Weather in August

The city of Barka confronts a slight reduction in sweltering conditions in August. Temperatures slide from the July zenith, ushering in marginally cooler evenings. Though the weather is hot and dry predominantly, there are still limited rainfall events offering slight relief from the relentless heat. Despite these changes, August retains the characteristic Omani heat, so it's important for tourists to keep in mind the necessary precautions while planning their visit.

During August, Barka records an average high-temperature of a still very hot 36.7°C (98.1°F), marking a slight divergence from July's 37.8°C (100°F). Throughout the month of August, the average temperature dips to a warm 29.6°C (85.3°F) at night.

Heat index

The heat index value during August is calculated to be a scorching 44°C (111.2°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
