Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, the average high-temperature registers at a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), subtly different from July's 86.9°F (30.5°C). Montrose reports a consistent average low-temperature of 66.4°F (19.1°C) throughout August nights.Heat index
The heat index value for August is computed to be a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. 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 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
