Weather in August
Temperature
The dawn of August sees an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), subtly contrasting with July's 88.2°F (31.2°C). Throughout the month of August, the average temperature dips to an enjoyable 66.9°F (19.4°C) at night.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
