Temperature

The shift into August reveals an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), closely mirroring July's climate. Nightly readings in August display a noticeable downturn from daily highs, with the average low-temperature registering a comfortable 61.7°F (16.5°C).

Heat index

The heat index value during August is computed to be a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
