Weather in August
Temperature
During July and August, Bourg experiences its peak temperatures, averaging a high-temperature of 89.2°F (31.8°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
