Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Summit Hill, is another hot month, with an average temperature varying between 88°F (31.1°C) and 66.2°F (19°C).

Temperature

Summit Hill marks the onset of August with an average high-temperature of a still hot 88°F (31.1°C), a subtle shift from July's 88.9°F (31.6°C). A sharp divergence from daytime highs is noted during the month of August, with the average nighttime temperature settling at a comfortable 66.2°F (19°C).

Heat index

The heat index value during August is computed to be a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
