Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Lockhart, is also a hot month, with an average temperature varying between 90.7°F (32.6°C) and 73.6°F (23.1°C).

Temperature

As Lockhart transitions into August, the average high-temperature stands at a still tropical 90.7°F (32.6°C), offering little variation from the preceding month. In Lockhart, the August nights cool down to an average low of 73.6°F (23.1°C).

Heat index

For August, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
