Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Ward, is another hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 71.8°F (22.1°C) and 91.9°F (33.3°C).

Temperature

As August takes its course, Ward's average high-temperature registers at a still tropical 91.9°F (33.3°C), closely aligning with the preceding month. The nighttime temperature dips to a pleasant 71.8°F (22.1°C) on average during August.

Heat index

The heat index value during August is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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. 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 human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
