Weather in August
Temperature
During August, Waterloo observes a subtle ascent to a still hot 90.1°F (32.3°C) from July's 91.8°F (33.2°C) in the average high-temperature. During August nights, Waterloo records an average temperature of 69.8°F (21°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is calculated to be a scorching 107.6°F (42°C). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. 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. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
