Weather in August
Temperature
Westover experiences its warmest period in July and August, averaging a high-temperature of 91.9°F (33.3°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is computed to be a burning hot 118.4°F (48°C). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
