Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.3°F (32.4°C), exhibiting a slight fluctuation from the previous month. Holmesville reports a consistent average low-temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C) throughout August nights.Heat index
The heat index for August is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
