Weather in August
Temperature
The beginning of August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 86°F (30°C), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. Big Spring experiences an average nighttime temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C) in the month of August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is estimated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
