Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August brings an average high-temperature of a warm 85.1°F (29.5°C), nearly matching the July temperature. During August, the average low-temperature in Bel Alton is a refreshing 67.5°F (19.7°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
