Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Peak, is also a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 69.3°F (20.7°C) and max 90.1°F (32.3°C).

Temperature

August registers an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.1°F (32.3°C), slightly varied from July's 91°F (32.8°C). Throughout the month of August, the nighttime temperature dips to an average of 69.3°F (20.7°C).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
