Weather in August
Temperature
Alexander's transition from July to August introduces an average high-temperature of a still hot 91°F (32.8°C), marking an insignificant variation from the 92.1°F (33.4°C). The average temperature drops to a pleasant 71.1°F (21.7°C) during the night in the month of August.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
