Weather in August
Temperature
August brings a marginal elevation to a still hot 91.9°F (33.3°C) from July's 92.3°F (33.5°C) in Fruitdale's average high-temperatures. During the August nights, an average temperature of 73.6°F (23.1°C) is observed.Heat index
During August, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 116.6°F (47°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
