Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Oakley, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 90.1°F (32.3°C) and 71.2°F (21.8°C).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay 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 high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
