Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 88°F (31.1°C), closely mirroring July's climate. The average temperature during August nights is registered at an agreeable 68.9°F (20.5°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. 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 of high significance for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
