Weather in August
Temperature

The heat index value for August is estimated at a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. 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. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
