The onset of August manifests an average high-temperature of a still warm 81.3°F (27.4°C), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. The mean low-temperature during August nights is a refreshing 61.3°F (16.3°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Persistent activity under exposure might lead to a feeling of weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are highly important for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
