Weather in August
Temperature
As July turns into August, the average high-temperatures rest at a still hot 89.4°F (31.9°C), showing a minor variation from the prior month. Throughout the month of August, the average temperature dips to a moderately hot 75.4°F (24.1°C) at night.Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
