Weather in August
Temperature
August experiences an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 84.6°F (29.2°C), barely different from July's 85.1°F (29.5°C). Significant dips from daytime highs mark the August nights, with a consistent average temperature of 61.7°F (16.5°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is estimated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
