Weather in August
Temperature
July's transformation into August witnesses an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), noting a minor change from the preceding month. Nighttime temperature dips to a mean of 76.3°F (24.6°C) during August.Heat index
August's heat index is calculated to be a blistering 104°F (40°C). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
