August, the last month of the summer in Alexandria, is another hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 68.5°F (20.3°C) and 88.3°F (31.3°C).

The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C), nearly identical to July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). During the month of August, an average low-temperature of 68.5°F (20.3°C) is recorded in Alexandria.

Heat index

August's mean heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
