Weather in August
Temperature
As Alberta transitions into August, the average high-temperature stands at a still tropical 91.9°F (33.3°C), offering little variation from the preceding month. During the month of August, an average low-temperature of 72.3°F (22.4°C) is recorded.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 114.8°F (46°C). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
