Weather in August
Temperature
The months of July and August are noted for their peak temperatures, with an average high-temperature of 88.3°F (31.3°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is estimated at a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
