Weather in August
Temperature
August is marked by an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.9°F (32.7°C), almost identical to the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C) is recorded during the nights in August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Observe: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is on the horizon with prolonged exertion.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
