Weather in August
Temperature
The warmest period is usually observed in July and August, with the average high-temperature peaking at 91°F (32.8°C).Heat index
August's heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. 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 extremely significant for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
