Weather in August
Temperature

August's average heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. 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. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
