August weather forecast
Al Qir, United Arab Emirates

In Al Qir, August retains the scorching summer flair, with an average high temperature, rivalling those of the previous hottest months. Despite this heat, the weather conditions are affected by the steady rise in atmospheric pressure. A slight increase in cloud cover also occurs, but the sky remains primarily clear throughout the month. Along with these weather patterns, relative humidity levels are at their maximum, indicating a slightly more humid environment.

Temperature

August notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 34.2°C (93.6°F), subtly differing from July's 34.6°C (94.3°F). August nights witness a slight temperature decrease, averaging at a still tropical 31.8°C (89.2°F).

Heat index

During August, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression 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 essentially critical for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
