Weather in August
Temperature
August's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a still warm 82.9°F (28.3°C) from July's 85.6°F (29.8°C). In the month of August, Damascus experiences an average low-temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Ongoing exposure and activity could lead to a state of exhaustion, with a chance of heat cramps.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
