Weather in August
Temperature
Killen marks the arrival of August with an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), hardly different from July's 88.7°F (31.5°C). Killen's nighttime temperature in August drops to an average of 68.9°F (20.5°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is evaluated at a blistering 104°F (40°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
