August temperatures tend to peak at an average high of 96.4°F (35.8°C) and dip to a low of 73.8°F (23.2°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 125.6°F (52°C). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
