Weather in August
Temperature
As Riverland Heights steps into August, the average high-temperature is measured at a still hot 89.6°F (32°C), displaying minor differences from July's 90°F (32.2°C). In the month of August, the temperature in Riverland Heights generally rests at an average low of 75.7°F (24.3°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. 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 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
