Weather in August
Temperature
August's arrival shows an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C), hardly different from the previous month. Throughout August, Sheldon witnesses a nighttime temperature average of 59.5°F (15.3°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at 82.4°F (28°C). If exposure and activity are sustained, they might cause a feeling of weariness, resulting in heat cramps.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
