Weather in August
Temperature
The introduction of August notes a subtle temperature variation to a still tropical 93°F (33.9°C) from July's 93.9°F (34.4°C). Throughout August, Thornton registers a distinct decrease from daytime highs, reaching an average low of 58.8°F (14.9°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is estimated at a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. 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. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
