Weather in August

In August, the heat index is appraised at a hot 86°F (30°C). Continuous exposure and activity could induce a sense of tiredness and subsequently, heat cramps.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. 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. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
