Weather in August
Temperature
August registers an average high-temperature of a warm 85.1°F (29.5°C), slightly varied from July's 86.2°F (30.1°C). Big Creek's nighttime temperatures in August reflect a stark contrast to the day's highs, falling to an average low of 61.7°F (16.5°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
