Weather in August
Temperature
In Palestine, the peak temperatures are generally noted in August, averaging a high of 95.4°F (35.2°C) and a low of 73.6°F (23.1°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 118.4°F (48°C). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index 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.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
