Weather in August

For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 114.8°F (46°C). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. 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. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
