Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August sees a recorded average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.4°F (28°C), showing little divergence from the previous month's conditions. Throughout the month of August, Southwood witnesses an average temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is computed to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Persisting in activity during exposure could lead to weariness and subsequently to heat cramps.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. 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 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
