Weather in August
Temperature
With August's advent, Palestine sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.4°F (30.8°C), subtly shifted from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). In Palestine, an average temperature of 70.3°F (21.3°C) is noted during August nights.Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
