Weather in August
Temperature
August registers an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), slightly varied from July's 87.4°F (30.8°C). August witnesses an average nighttime temperature of 68.2°F (20.1°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
