Weather in August
Temperature
Waco's weather in August, with an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), subtly shifts from July's 88.5°F (31.4°C). August brings an average low-temperature of 68.2°F (20.1°C) to Waco.Heat index
The heat index for August is evaluated at a blistering 104°F (40°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
