Weather in August
Temperature
As Gilbert transitions from July to August, the average high-temperatures adjust to a still hot 89.4°F (31.9°C), nearly the same as the previous 91°F (32.8°C). Gilbert temperatures generally rest at a low of 71.4°F (21.9°C) during the August nights.Heat index
The heat index for August is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 105.8°F (41°C). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
