Weather in August

During August, Rienzi observes a subtle ascent to a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C) from July's 90.5°F (32.5°C) in the average high-temperature. An average low-temperature of 69.6°F (20.9°C) marks the month of August in Rienzi.

Heat index

August's mean heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
