Weather in August
Temperature
Benton's shift into August sets the average high-temperature at a still hot 87.4°F (30.8°C), a figure that deviates only slightly from July's 87.8°F (31°C). The significant decline in Benton's temperature, from day to night, averages of 65.8°F (18.8°C) in August.Heat index
August's average heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
