Weather in August
Temperature

For August, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. 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. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
