Weather in August

The transition into August reveals an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), mirroring a close resemblance to July. In August, the recorded average low-temperature in Horseshoe is an enjoyable 66°F (18.9°C).Heat index
August's heat index is appraised at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
