Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August denotes an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), subtly different from July's 90.7°F (32.6°C). In Samary Forest, August nights cool down to an average of 68.2°F (20.1°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
