Weather in August
Temperature
The start of August sees the average high-temperature at a still tropical 87.4°F (30.8°C), showing little difference from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). Wakefield, during the month of August, experiences an average low-temperature of 66.7°F (19.3°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is appraised at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. 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 largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
