Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C), almost identical to the preceding month. During August nights, Odessa records an average temperature of 66.7°F (19.3°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Persistent activity under exposure might lead to a feeling of weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
