Weather in August
Temperature
With the advent of August, Fourche experiences an average high-temperature of a still hot 91.2°F (32.9°C), mirroring a close resemblance to the previous month. Throughout August, the nighttime temperature averages to a pleasant 70.3°F (21.3°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 111.2°F (44°C). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
