The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Dawn, Texas, with an average temperature ranging between min 67.8°F (19.9°C) and max 90.3°F (32.4°C).

Dawn's weather, upon August's arrival, documents an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.3°F (32.4°C), nearly identical to the prior month. August nights present a stark temperature decrease to a refreshing 67.8°F (19.9°C).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. 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 are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
