Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Central City, is also a hot month, with an average temperature varying between 68.5°F (20.3°C) and 91.4°F (33°C).

Temperature

The shift into August uncovers an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.4°F (33°C), subtly different from the previous month. During August, Central City notes a substantial drop from the daytime peak to an average minimum temperature of 68.5°F (20.3°C).

Heat index

August's average heat index is calculated to be a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
