Weather in August
Temperature
Transitioning from July to August, Harold observes an average high-temperature of a warm 85.3°F (29.6°C), differing subtly from the previous month. Harold's nighttime temperatures in August reflect a stark contrast to the day's highs, falling to an average low of 61°F (16.1°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is estimated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
