Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August denotes an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.7°F (32.6°C), subtly different from July's 91°F (32.8°C). The average low-temperature during August nights is a pleasant 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
