Weather in August
Temperature
The highest point of temperatures falls in July and August, when the average high-temperature ascends to 92.1°F (33.4°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. 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 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. 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.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
