Weather in August
Temperature
As Damascus welcomes August, the average high-temperature is noted at a still hot 90.1°F (32.3°C), closely aligning with the preceding month. Damascus observes an average nighttime low-temperature of 73.4°F (23°C) during the month of August.Heat index
August's heat index is evaluated at a scorching 111.2°F (44°C). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
