Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August is marked with an average high-temperature of a warm 85.3°F (29.6°C), showing an insignificant shift from July's 86.7°F (30.4°C). In Douglas, following the steep rise of daytime temperatures, an average nighttime low of 61°F (16.1°C) is anticipated during August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
