Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.9°F (31.6°C), subtly diverging from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). Planter encounters an average low-temperature of 68.2°F (20.1°C) during August nights.Heat index
During August, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 104°F (40°C). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
