Weather in August
Temperature

In August, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
