Weather in August
Temperature
The ushering in of August brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 81.5°F (27.5°C), closely mirroring the 82.2°F (27.9°C) of July. Hico's nighttime temperature in August demonstrates a noticeable plunge to a refreshing 58.5°F (14.7°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Persisting in activity during exposure could lead to weariness and subsequently to heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
