Weather in August
Temperature
August's advent presents an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), indicating a slight variation from the conditions of the previous month. During August, Washita experiences a consistent low-temperature average of 69.3°F (20.7°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
