Weather in August
Temperature
August's weather displays an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C), slightly varied from July's 86.4°F (30.2°C). Wewanta experiences a significant contrast between daily highs and an average nighttime temperature of 61.3°F (16.3°C) during August.Heat index
The heat index in August is estimated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important 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.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
