Weather in August
Temperature
In August, Lake Watch experiences a barely noticeable shift in meteorological conditions, with average high-temperatures moving from 88.9°F (31.6°C) in July to a still hot 87.6°F (30.9°C). During the month of August, an average low-temperature of 67.6°F (19.8°C) is recorded.Heat index
The heat index in August is estimated at a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Undertake additional safety actions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Persistent activity may induce heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. 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 'feels like', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
