Weather in August
Temperature
August observes an average high-temperature of a still hot 91.2°F (32.9°C), marking an insignificant difference from July's 91.9°F (33.3°C). In August, the temperature drops to an average of 71.6°F (22°C) at night.Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
