August, the last month of the summer in Williams, is another hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 73.2°F (22.9°C) and 90.5°F (32.5°C).

Temperature

The onset of August notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.5°F (32.5°C), subtly shifted from July's 91.8°F (33.2°C). Williams witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 73.2°F (22.9°C) throughout August.

Heat index

August's mean heat index is appraised at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
