With the onset of August, the average high-temperature stands at a warm 85.1°F (29.5°C), closely aligned with July's 86.2°F (30.1°C). Fall Rock demonstrates a significant disparity from daytime highs throughout the month of August, with an average nighttime temperature of 61.7°F (16.5°C).

Heat index

August's average heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
