Weather in August
Temperature
As August takes its course, Austin's average high-temperature registers at a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C), closely aligning with the preceding month. Austin witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 64.4°F (18°C) throughout August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is estimated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index 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. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
