Temperature

With an average high-temperature of 85.5°F (29.7°C) and an average low-temperature of 82.9°F (28.3°C), August is the warmest month.

Heat index

August's average heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. 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.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
