Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August records an average high-temperature of a still warm 82.8°F (28.2°C), closely related to the 84.7°F (29.3°C) observed in July. Wasta, during August, witnesses an average low-temperature of 61.5°F (16.4°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be 84.2°F (29°C). Prolonged exposure and physical activity might induce exhaustion, potentially causing heat cramps.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
