Weather in August
Temperature
Thelma signifies an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.7°F (30.4°C) in August, closely mirroring the 88.7°F (31.5°C) of July. Thelma's nights in August cool down to an average low-temperature of 68.5°F (20.3°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
