A minimal variation is noted in Tuckahoe Heights's average high-temperature at the onset of August, reaching a still hot 89.1°F (31.7°C) from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). An average temperature of 68.7°F (20.4°C) marks the nights in August.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
