Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Arkola, is another hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 69.3°F (20.7°C) and 91.6°F (33.1°C).

Temperature

In August, Arkola experiences a barely noticeable shift in meteorological conditions, with average high-temperatures moving from 92.8°F (33.8°C) in July to a still hot 91.6°F (33.1°C). August nights see a notable contrast from daytime highs, with the nighttime temperature averaging at an agreeable 69.3°F (20.7°C).

Heat index

During August, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
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. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, 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 are quite important for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
