Weather in August
Temperature
August welcomes an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C), not much different from the preceding month. In the month of August, Section experiences an average low-temperature of 66.6°F (19.2°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
