Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, the average high-temperature stands at a still hot 89.4°F (31.9°C), closely aligned with July's 91.4°F (33°C). During August, Arcadia sees a mean low-temperature of 68.5°F (20.3°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is estimated at a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. 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. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
