Weather in August
Temperature
As August takes hold, the average high-temperature is a still hot 90.9°F (32.7°C), nearly mirroring that of the previous month. During the month of August, an average low-temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C) is recorded in Lena.Heat index
August's mean heat index is appraised at a scorching 111.2°F (44°C). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. 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 quite important for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
