Weather in August
Temperature
Temperature readings reach their annual highs in August, averaging 94.1°F (34.5°C) and a minimum average of 73.4°F (23°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is computed to be a scorching 111.2°F (44°C). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
