Weather in August
Temperature
Lamar marks the onset of August with an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.7°F (32.6°C), a subtle shift from July's 91.4°F (33°C). Lamar, in the heat of August, registers a significant plunge to a mean of 68.4°F (20.2°C) during the nights.Heat index
The heat index in August is estimated at a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
