Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Gillam Park, is another hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 71.2°F (21.8°C) and 90.9°F (32.7°C).

August's commencement is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.9°F (32.7°C), diverging marginally from July's 91.9°F (33.3°C). Throughout the month of August, the average temperature in Gillam Park dips to an agreeable 71.2°F (21.8°C) at night.

Heat index

August's average heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 109.4°F (43°C). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, 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 hold particular importance for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
