Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August is marked with an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), showing an insignificant shift from July's 88.9°F (31.6°C). Swagg sees an average low-temperature of 69.4°F (20.8°C) during August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is appraised at a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. 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. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
