Weather in August
Temperature
In August, Nickell experiences a minor shift in meteorological conditions with average high-temperatures marked at a warm 85.5°F (29.7°C), closely mirroring the climate in July. During August, Nickell notes a substantial drop from the daytime peak to an average minimum temperature of 62.8°F (17.1°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is estimated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. 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 are extremely significant 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.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
