Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August denotes an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), subtly different from July's 87.1°F (30.6°C). A pronounced dip becomes evident during the nights in August as West Pea Ridge logs a consistent average temperature of 62.4°F (16.9°C).Heat index
August's heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
