Weather in August
Temperature
Gorum transitions into August recording an average high-temperature of a still tropical 93.7°F (34.3°C), closely aligning with the preceding month's temperature. Gorum anticipates an average minimum temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) in the month of August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 120.2°F (49°C). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
