Weather in August
Temperature
Stepping into August, Girard records an average high-temperature of a warm 84.9°F (29.4°C), almost consistent with July. With the onset of night in August, Girard reveals a significant decrease in temperature, averaging at a comfortable 61.3°F (16.3°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is computed to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
