Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Fitzpatrick, is another tropical month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 72°F (22.2°C) and 90.7°F (32.6°C).

During August, the average high-temperature is a still tropical 90.7°F (32.6°C), maintaining a close resemblance to that of the preceding month. Fitzpatrick witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 72°F (22.2°C) throughout August.

Heat index

In August, the average heat index 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.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. 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 'real feel' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
