Weather in August
Temperature
As August unfolds, the average high-temperature reaches a still hot 93.7°F (34.3°C), hinting at a slight fluctuation from the previous month. Gorum's nighttime temperature during August is consistently averaged at an agreeable 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is appraised at a burning hot 120.2°F (49°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
