Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 92.7°F (33.7°C), hardly diverging from July's 93.2°F (34°C). August in Dry Forks is noted for a mean low-temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 118.4°F (48°C). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
