Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August shows a subtle variation to a still tropical 93.7°F (34.3°C) from July's 93.9°F (34.4°C) in the average high-temperature. In Dusenbury, the nighttime temperature averages to a pleasant 73.2°F (22.9°C) during August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 122°F (50°C). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital 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.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down 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. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
