Weather in August

Temperature

The advent of August reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.4°F (30.8°C), showing minimal difference from the prior month. An average nighttime temperature of 68.7°F (20.4°C) is noted during the month of August.

Heat index

The heat index value during August is computed to be a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance 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.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
