Weather in August
Temperature
Entering August, Watterson Park's average high-temperature reads a still tropical 86.2°F (30.1°C), indicating a close resemblance to the previous month's climate. During August nights, Watterson Park witnesses a consistent average temperature of 66.2°F (19°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. 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. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
