Weather in August
Temperature
July and August are characterised by peak temperatures, with an average high of 94.5°F (34.7°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a burning hot 125.6°F (52°C). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. 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 extremely significant for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
