Weather in August
Temperature
Whitney observes a minor difference in average high-temperatures between July's 90.7°F (32.6°C) and August's 89.2°F (31.8°C). Nighttime temperatures in Whitney hover around an average low of 69.8°F (21°C) in August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
