Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August introduces an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.4°F (30.2°C), closely mirroring the preceding month. An average minimum temperature of 69.1°F (20.6°C) is recorded during the month of August.Heat index
The heat index for August is computed to be a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
