Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature for August is a still tropical 90.9°F (32.7°C), closely aligning with the temperature of the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 70.3°F (21.3°C) marks the nights in Taft, Oklahoma throughout August.Heat index
August's heat index is calculated to be a blistering 105.8°F (41°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
