Weather in August
Temperature
August's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 91.6°F (33.1°C), slightly deviating from July's 91.9°F (33.3°C). Akron registers a consistent average low-temperature of 71.6°F (22°C) during August.Heat index
The heat index value for August is computed to be a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate 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 of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
