Weather in August
Temperature
August ushers in an average high-temperature of a warm 85.5°F (29.7°C), aligning closely with the preceding month. Clarkson in August anticipates an average nighttime temperature of 65.7°F (18.7°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
