Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.5°F (32.5°C), subtly shifted from July's 91°F (32.8°C). During the month of August, Troy's nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
August's heat index is computed to be a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
