Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 93.2°F (34°C), hardly diverging from July's 93.9°F (34.4°C). Marked by a significant drop from the daytime highs, Madison's average low-temperature in August stands at a refreshing 59.2°F (15.1°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is estimated at a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
