Weather in August
Temperature
August's weather displays an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.1°F (32.3°C), slightly varied from July's 90.9°F (32.7°C). Throughout the August nights, Townsend encounters a low-temperature of 75.7°F (24.3°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is calculated to be a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
