August, the last month of the summer in Chico, is another hot month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 69.6°F (20.9°C) and an average high of 89.4°F (31.9°C).

Temperature

August's presence marks an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.4°F (31.9°C), subtly varied from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). Chico records an average low of 69.6°F (20.9°C) throughout the nights in August.

Heat index

The heat index in August is appraised at a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
