August, the last month of the summer in Globe, is also a moderately hot month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 62.6°F (17°C) and an average high of 85.3°F (29.6°C).

Temperature

August notes an average high-temperature of a warm 85.3°F (29.6°C), subtly differing from July's 86.9°F (30.5°C). Globe notes a substantial temperature decline from the daytime peaks throughout August, with an average nighttime temperature of 62.6°F (17°C).

Heat index

The heat index value for August is appraised at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
