Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August shows a subtle variation to a still tropical 92.7°F (33.7°C) from July's 93.2°F (34°C) in the average high-temperature. Sheppard, during the nights of August, experiences an average temperature drop to an agreeable 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is appraised at a life-threatening hot 118.4°F (48°C). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. 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 essentially critical for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
