Weather in August
Temperature
August's weather records an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), showing little deviation from July. In the month of August, the temperature generally rests at an average low of 66°F (18.9°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is estimated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
