Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.9°F (31.6°C), exhibiting a slight fluctuation from the previous month. Nighttime temperature experiences an average drop to an agreeable 69.6°F (20.9°C) in August.Heat index
In August, the heat index is appraised at a scorching 105.8°F (41°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
