Weather in August
August, the last month of the summer in Phelan, is another tropical month, with an average temperature ranging between max 88.3°F (31.3°C) and min 69.3°F (20.7°C).Temperature
The start of August sees the average high-temperature at a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), showing little difference from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). Phelan, during the month of August, experiences an average low-temperature of 69.3°F (20.7°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is computed to be a scorching 104°F (40°C). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
