Weather in August
Temperature
In Thornton, temperatures reach their average annual highs in August, measuring 95.5°F (35.3°C) and a minimum average of 74.8°F (23.8°C).Heat index
August's heat index is appraised at a burning hot 116.6°F (47°C). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
