Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.1°F (32.3°C), subtly shifted from July's 91°F (32.8°C). An average nighttime temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C) is witnessed throughout August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 109.4°F (43°C). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
