Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 92.5°F (33.6°C), almost identical to the preceding month. Marked by a significant drop from the daytime highs, Poteau's average low-temperature in August stands at an agreeable 69.4°F (20.8°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
