Temperature

August's arrival shows an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.8°C (89.2°F), hardly different from the previous month. An average low-temperature of 25.2°C (77.4°F) is anticipated throughout the nights during August.

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 44°C (111.2°F). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
