The nighttime temperature in Edinburg during August exhibits a clear drop from daytime highs, settling at a mild 60.3°F (15.7°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is estimated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Uninterrupted activity during exposure could lead to a sense of exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. 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 particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
