Weather in August

In Grand Prairie, the swelter of August injects the city with a last stretch of intense summer heat. Long, sunny days dominate the city's climate, uninterrupted by rare rainfall and breeze. However, the omnipresent summer wind slows down to a gentle 7mph (11.3km/h), allowing for a respite from the otherwise oppressive heat. Stifling temperatures persist in August, hitting their zenith at an average high of 96.3°F (35.7°C). As the heat transition continues to taper off, the onset of September comes with a promise of respite.

Temperature

August, having an average high-temperature of 96.3°F (35.7°C) and an average low-temperature of 77.4°F (25.2°C), is the warmest month.

Heat index

In August, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. 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 the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
