Weather in August
Temperature
The weather during August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 91.8°F (33.2°C), closely mirroring the preceding month. During August, the average low-temperature is an agreeable 72°F (22.2°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
