Weather in August
Temperature
Upon the onset of August, Broughton witnesses an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C), showing a close resemblance to the prior month. The month of August records an average low-temperature of 66.2°F (19°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is appraised at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
