Weather in August
Temperature
August, recognised by an average high temperature of 33.7°C (92.7°F) and a low of 22.6°C (72.7°F), is El Pocito's warmest month.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 44°C (111.2°F). Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
