Weather in August
Temperature
The shift to August signals an average high-temperature of a warm 85.8°F (29.9°C), subtly varied from July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). During August, an average low-temperature of 76.3°F (24.6°C) is observed.Heat index
In August, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. 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 are particularly relevant to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
