Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August denotes a barely perceptible change in the average high-temperatures to a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C) from July's 88°F (31.1°C). Nighttime temperatures in August average to an enjoyable 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
