Weather in August
Temperature

The heat index in August is appraised at a burning hot 118.4°F (48°C). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
