Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.2°F (31.8°C), nearly matching the July temperature. The average nighttime temperature in Forest Park lowers to a pleasant 70.9°F (21.6°C) throughout August.Heat index
During August, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
