Weather in August
Temperature
The month of August, characterized by an average high of 91.9°F (33.3°C) and a low of 75°F (23.9°C), is recognized as the warmest.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 116.6°F (47°C). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
