Weather in August
Temperature
The initiation of August records an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), displaying a near consistency with the previous month. An average nighttime temperature of 66.7°F (19.3°C) is observed during August.Heat index
The heat index for August is evaluated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
