Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records an average high-temperature of a still hot 93.7°F (34.3°C), a near match to July's 93.9°F (34.4°C). Mahan experiences a consistent average temperature of 72.3°F (22.4°C) throughout the nights in August.Heat index
During August, the heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 118.4°F (48°C). Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
