Weather in August
Temperature
The ushering in of August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), closely mirroring the 88°F (31.1°C) of July. Delaware Park experiences an average nighttime temperature of 68.9°F (20.5°C) in the month of August.Heat index
August's mean heat index is evaluated at a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. 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. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
