Temperature

West Selmont's August showcases an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.8°F (33.2°C), hardly distinct from July's 92.1°F (33.4°C). During August, an average low-temperature of 72°F (22.2°C) is observed.

Heat index

The heat index value for August is computed to be a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
