Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, Holcomb's average high-temperature clocks in at a still tropical 90.3°F (32.4°C), showing a minor fluctuation from the previous month. Holcomb records an average low-temperature of 70.9°F (21.6°C) throughout the month of August.Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be an extremely hot 109.4°F (43°C). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
