Weather in August
Temperature
The start of August marks an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.5°F (29.7°C), hardly distinguishable from the conditions in July. The month of August records an average low-temperature of 64.4°F (18°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
