Weather in August
Temperature
The highest temperatures are recorded in August, with averages reaching a high of 91.6°F (33.1°C) and a low of 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a life-threatening hot 118.4°F (48°C). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 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. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
