Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), almost identical to the preceding month. Mount Ararat usually reports an average low-temperature of 65.3°F (18.5°C) during the month of August.Heat index
The heat index value for August is evaluated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit.
