The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.5°F (31.4°C), nearly identical to July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). Hobson City's average low-temperature for the month of August records at a pleasant 68.7°F (20.4°C).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 104°F (40°C). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
