Weather in August
Temperature
With average temperatures fluctuating between a high of 87.6°F (30.9°C) and a low of 80.6°F (27°C), August stands out as the warmest month.Heat index
The average heat index in August is estimated at a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. 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. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant 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.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
