Weather in August

Temperature

Heat index

During August, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 116.6°F (47°C). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
