Weather in August
Temperature
In Saxon, August's average high-temperature stands at a still tropical 89.4°F (31.9°C), closely related to the preceding month. Throughout the month of August, Saxon sees a steady low-temperature average of 68.5°F (20.3°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 104°F (40°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
