Weather in August
Temperature

The heat index for August is evaluated at a scorching 109.4°F (43°C). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
