Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.5°F (32.5°C), exhibiting little difference from the previous month. Throughout August, Banks anticipates an average low-temperature of 72.5°F (22.5°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is evaluated at an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). Mind: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke can develop with continued physical activity.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. 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', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
