Weather in August
Temperature

August's average heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor 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 a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
