Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Tarsus, is also a hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 68.7°F (20.4°C) and 88.5°F (31.4°C).

Temperature

The advent of August sees the average high-temperature at a still hot 88.5°F (31.4°C), subtly shifted from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). Tarsus temperatures generally rest at a low of 68.7°F (20.4°C) during the August nights.

Heat index

The heat index value for August is estimated at a blistering 104°F (40°C). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. 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 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.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
