Weather in August
Temperature
Clifton marks the onset of August with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.4°F (30.8°C), a subtle shift from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). Throughout August, an average nighttime temperature of 66.7°F (19.3°C) is experienced.Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
