Weather in August
Temperature
August, with its high-temperature average of 90.9°F (32.7°C) and a low-temperature average of 74.8°F (23.8°C), is the warmest month.Heat index
During August, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 116.6°F (47°C). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
