Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August sees average high-temperatures adjusting to a still hot 89.2°F (31.8°C), from a not significantly different 90.9°F (32.7°C). During August, the temperature tends to dip to an average of 70°F (21.1°C) at night.Heat index
In August, the heat index is computed to be a scorching 105.8°F (41°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. 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 particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
