Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, Thomson's average high-temperature clocks in at a still hot 90.3°F (32.4°C), showing a minor fluctuation from the previous month. In August, Thomson reports a consistent average low-temperature of 70.9°F (21.6°C) during the nights.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
