Weather in August
Temperature
In August, Prospect Hill experiences a minor shift in meteorological conditions with average high-temperatures marked at a still hot 87.8°F (31°C), closely mirroring the climate in July. During the nights in August, the temperature averages to a refreshing 67.1°F (19.5°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. 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.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
