Weather in August
Temperature
August's weather records an average high-temperature of a still hot 91°F (32.8°C), showing little deviation from July. The month of August records an average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is estimated at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
