Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Social Town, is another tropical month, with an average temperature ranging between min 72.3°F (22.4°C) and max 90.5°F (32.5°C).

Temperature

The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.5°F (32.5°C), nearly identical to July's 91°F (32.8°C). Throughout August, a steady low-temperature average of 72.3°F (22.4°C) is noted.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
