Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August introduces an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), closely mirroring the preceding month. August nights are marked by an average temperature drop to a comfortable 66.9°F (19.4°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
