Weather in August
Temperature
The beginning of August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.8°F (32.1°C), marking a negligible difference from July's 90.5°F (32.5°C). West Point, in August, experiences an average temperature of 70.3°F (21.3°C) at night.Heat index
During August, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. 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.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
