Temperature

Peak temperatures are observed in July and August, averaging a high-temperature of 89.8°F (32.1°C).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 111.2°F (44°C). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
