Weather in August
Temperature
August's advent notes a subtle adjustment in average high-temperature to a still hot 89.6°F (32°C) from July. Sheppards experiences a nighttime temperature average of 72.9°F (22.7°C) during August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
