Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, Putnam's average high-temperature clocks in at a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), showing a minor fluctuation from the previous month. Putnam records an average temperature drop to an agreeable 69.1°F (20.6°C) in August.Heat index
The heat index in August is estimated at a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. 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 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
