August weather forecast
Abu Hamur, Qatar

The weather in Abu Hamur, Qatar, defies a major change as August sustains the consistent, scorching summer. Apart from a slight dip in temperature, the overall conditions mirror that of July. The month heralds the last of the high-temperature summer before September commences the preparation for a gradual cool down. The month witnesses unusually high temperatures fluctuating between 32.8°C (91°F) and 40.1°C (104.2°F).

Temperature

August welcomes an average high-temperature of a still blisteringly hot 40.1°C (104.2°F), not much different from the preceding month. Abu Hamur experiences an average temperature drop to a tropical 32.8°C (91°F) during August nights.

Heat index

In August, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 54°C (129.2°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in August is 49%.

Rainfall

June through September are months without rainfall.

Daylight

In August, the average length of the day is 13h and 0min.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 05:01 and sunset at 18:19. On the last day of August, sunrise is at 05:14 and sunset at 17:53 +03.

UV index

June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 9, are months with the highest UV index in Abu Hamur. A UV Index value of 8 to 10 symbolizes a very high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: During August, 9 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Without constant care, eyes and skin might suffer damage in a short time. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes. Even on overcast days, apply and frequently reapply a sunscreen with SPF 30 or more, specifically after a swim or outdoor workout.
