Weather in August
Temperature
As Gillham welcomes August, the average high-temperature records at a still hot 93.2°F (34°C), marking an insignificant deviation from the prior month. Throughout the month of August, Gillham observes a dramatic downturn from the daytime peak temperatures, expecting an average low of 71.2°F (21.8°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is computed to be a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
