Weather in August
Temperature
West Fork experiences a transition to a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C) in average high-temperatures with the arrival of August, not greatly differing from July's 89.6°F (32°C). August nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 67.6°F (19.8°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
