Temperature

Oak Vale's warmest month, August, generally records average temperatures ranging from a high of 91.4°F (33°C) to a low of 72.5°F (22.5°C).

Heat index

August's mean heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
