August, the last month of the summer in Mecca, is another hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 86.5°F (30.3°C) and an average low of 64.8°F (18.2°C).

Temperature

The commencement of August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), marking an inconsequential divergence from July. During August, Mecca's temperature records a considerable difference from its daily highs to an average low of 64.8°F (18.2°C).

Heat index

August's heat index is estimated at a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
