Weather in August
Temperature
Elkhart's average high-temperature in August sits at a still tropical 90.7°F (32.6°C), showing little difference from the previous month. In Elkhart, the average temperature during the nights of August marks a significant drop from the daily high, settling at an agreeable 68.9°F (20.5°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. 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 remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
