Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August uncovers an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.8°F (29.9°C), subtly different from the previous month. The low-temperature averages to an enjoyable 65.1°F (18.4°C) during the nights of August.Heat index
The average heat index in August is appraised at a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. 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 'feels like', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful 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.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
