Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.8°F (29.9°C), nearly identical to July's 88.3°F (31.3°C). Alma, in the month of August, anticipates a consistent average low-temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
