Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Russell, is another tropical month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 70.2°F (21.2°C) and 88.3°F (31.3°C).

Temperature

Russell marks the onset of August with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C), a subtle shift from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). In August, Russell experiences a temperature dip to an average of 70.2°F (21.2°C) at night.

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a blistering 104°F (40°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
