Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature in August, at a still hot 87.1°F (30.6°C), reveals a modest deviation from July's 89.1°F (31.7°C). In the month of August, the average low-temperature usually rests at an agreeable 68.9°F (20.5°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is appraised at a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
