Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August denotes a barely perceptible change in the average high-temperatures to a still hot 87.4°F (30.8°C) from July's 87.6°F (30.9°C). From the heights of the August heat, Forest Highlands records a mean nighttime low of 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
