Weather in August
August, the last month of the summer in Hurley, is another hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 77°F (25°C) and max 90.9°F (32.7°C).Temperature
The warmest month is August, with an average high-temperature of 90.9°F (32.7°C) and an average low-temperature of 77°F (25°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 111.2°F (44°C). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical 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 remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
