August, the last month of the summer in Norah, is also a hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 89.1°F (31.7°C) and an average low of 77°F (25°C).

Temperature

On the advent of August, Norah's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still tropical 89.1°F (31.7°C) from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). Throughout the month of August, Norah witnesses an average low-temperature of 77°F (25°C).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 107.6°F (42°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. 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 fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
