Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), almost identical to the preceding month. Palo Alto observes an average low-temperature of 74.8°F (23.8°C) during August nights.Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
