Weather in August
Temperature
Highland experiences a minor change to a still tropical 90.7°F (32.6°C) in average high-temperature during August, closely reflecting July. An average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) is recorded in the month of August.Heat index
The average heat index in August is appraised at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. 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.
