Temperature

August is the warmest month, exhibiting average temperatures of 90.7°F (32.6°C) at the peak and 75.2°F (24°C) at the base.

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. 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 the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
