Weather in August
Temperature
August, with an average high of 93.6°F (34.2°C) and a low of 71.2°F (21.8°C), signifies the warmest month of the year.Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
