Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.1°F (32.3°C), subtly varied from July's 91°F (32.8°C). In August, the nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 71.2°F (21.8°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
