Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.8°F (31°C), showing a minute difference from July's 89.4°F (31.9°C). Dowdy's temperature tends to fall to an average low of 69.4°F (20.8°C) during the nights of August.Heat index
In August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
