Weather in August
Temperature
A minimal variation is noted in Glendale's average high-temperature at the onset of August, reaching a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C) from July's 88°F (31.1°C). During August, Glendale observes a consistent average nighttime temperature of 66.7°F (19.3°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
