Weather in August
Temperature
August, with average temperatures reaching a high of 95.5°F (35.3°C) and a low of 73.6°F (23.1°C), is the warmest month.Heat index
The average heat index in August is estimated at a blazing hot 122°F (50°C). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight 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 'feels like' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
