Weather in August
Temperature
With the start of August, Carrier Mills measures an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), not significantly differing from July's 87.3°F (30.7°C). Throughout the month of August, Carrier Mills witnesses an average low-temperature of 66°F (18.9°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is evaluated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
