Weather in August
Temperature
August is the month that records the highest temperatures, with averages ranging from a high of 92.1°F (33.4°C) to a low of 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is appraised at a burning hot 116.6°F (47°C). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of 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. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
