Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, a modest change to a still tropical 91.4°F (33°C) from July's 91.9°F (33.3°C) is noted in high-temperature. The temperature in Woodhaven dips to an average of 74.5°F (23.6°C) during August nights.Heat index
The heat index value for August is estimated at a blazing hot 116.6°F (47°C). Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. 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 remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
