Weather in August
Temperature
The beginning of August reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), showing minimal deviation from the previous month. August nights are marked by an average temperature drop to an agreeable 69.4°F (20.8°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 104°F (40°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
