Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.8°F (29.9°C) from July's 88.2°F (31.2°C). August generally records an average low-temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
