Weather in August

The heat index value during August is estimated at a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable.

Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
