Weather in August
Temperature
August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.8°F (33.2°C), indicating a minor variation from the preceding month. Potter temperatures generally rest at a low of 72°F (22.2°C) during the August nights.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 114.8°F (46°C). Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
