Entering August, Saginaw's average high-temperature reads a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), indicating a close resemblance to the previous month's climate. The low-temperature average for Saginaw during August stands at a pleasant 71.2°F (21.8°C).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 109.4°F (43°C). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
