Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August is marked with an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), showing an insignificant shift from July's 86.4°F (30.2°C). August nights observe an average temperature dip to a comfortable 66.2°F (19°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
