Weather in August

The heat index value for August is computed to be a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for 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.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
