August, the last month of the summer in Hardin, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 67.6°F (19.8°C) and 87.3°F (30.7°C).

Temperature

Heat index

The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
