Weather in August
Temperature
As Alexandria Junction steps into August, the average high-temperature is measured at a still hot 92.8°F (33.8°C), displaying minor differences from July's 93.2°F (34°C). Alexandria Junction encounters an average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) during August nights.Heat index
In August, the heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 120.2°F (49°C). Mind: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke can develop with continued physical activity.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
