Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Balta, is another warm month, with an average temperature ranging between max 85.6°F (29.8°C) and min 64°F (17.8°C).

Temperature

Balta commences August with an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. Balta endures a clear shift from daytime heat to a mean low-temperature of 64°F (17.8°C) during August nights.

Heat index

August's heat index is computed to be a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
