Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 83.7°F (28.7°C), exhibiting minor difference from the previous month. Harlan records a consistent low-temperature average of 60.6°F (15.9°C) during August, indicating a significant difference from the daytime heat.Heat index
August's heat index is estimated at a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. 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.
