Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in May, Oklahoma, with an average temperature varying between 91.9°F (33.3°C) and 71.8°F (22.1°C).

Temperature

As May transitions into August, the average high-temperature stands at a still tropical 91.9°F (33.3°C), offering little variation from the preceding month. In August, the temperature drops to an average of 71.8°F (22.1°C) at night.

Heat index

The heat index for August is computed to be a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit.
