July's transformation into August witnesses an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C), noting a minor change from the preceding month. McKee, during the nights of August, registers a substantial plunge from the daytime high, averaging at a comfortable 63°F (17.2°C).

Heat index

The heat index in August is computed to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
