Weather in August
Temperature
The unfolding of August shows an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.1°F (31.7°C), indicating a slight variance from July's 91.9°F (33.3°C). Against the backdrop of high daytime temperatures, an average low-temperature of 66.2°F (19°C) is noted during August nights.Heat index
In August, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
