Temperature
August, with average temperatures reaching a high of 29.7°C (85.5°F) and a low of 23.4°C (74.1°F), is the warmest month.
Heat index
The heat index for August is calculated to be a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
