August weather forecast
Islamabad, Pakistan

As the city moves into August, temperatures slightly drop, indicating the end of the hot summer days. The rains, however, persist, adding up to 119mm (4.69"), the highest for the year. The humidity level rises, making the city feel warmer than it is. Despite the frequent rain, sunshine hours remain almost equal to those in July. The weather, though humid, is usually cool towards the evening as a result of the steady winds.

Temperature

The shift into August finds Islamabad at an average high-temperature of a still fiery hot 35.5°C (95.9°F), closely comparable to July's conditions. Throughout August, the temperature tends to fall to a consistent average low of 26.3°C (79.3°F).

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a scorching 43°C (109.4°F). Observe: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is on the horizon with prolonged exertion.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
