Weather in August
Temperature

The heat index in August is calculated to be a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
