Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August sees an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), indicating a minor variance from the prior month. A steep decline to a comfortable 62.2°F (16.8°C) characterizes the August nights in Gullett.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
