Weather in August
Temperature
August notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 91°F (32.8°C), subtly differing from July's 93.7°F (34.3°C). Holcomb observes a dramatic plunge from daytime highs in August, settling at an average low-temperature of 66.9°F (19.4°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
