Weather in August
Temperature
August ushers in an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.2°F (31.2°C), aligning closely with the preceding month. During the August nights, an average temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C) is observed in Elliott.Heat index
The heat index in August is estimated at a blistering 104°F (40°C). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
