Weather in August
Temperature
In August, Powells Crossroads experiences a barely noticeable shift in meteorological conditions, with average high-temperatures moving from 87.1°F (30.6°C) in July to a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C). During August, the temperature tends to dip to an average of 66.9°F (19.4°C) at night.Heat index
The heat index value during August is appraised at a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
