Weather in August
Temperature
The ushering in of August brings an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), closely mirroring the 87.4°F (30.8°C) of July. In August, Adelphi's temperature tends to fall to an average low of 68.2°F (20.1°C) during the night.Heat index
The heat index value for August is evaluated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
