Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, Drake's average high-temperature clocks in at a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C), showing a minor fluctuation from the previous month. Throughout the nights in August, an average low-temperature of 69.1°F (20.6°C) is noted.Heat index
August's heat index is appraised at a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
