Weather in August
Temperature
Waurika records the warmest temperatures in August, averaging a high of 96.3°F (35.7°C) and a low of 74.1°F (23.4°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is computed to be a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
