Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C) from July's 87.3°F (30.7°C). From the height of daytime heat, the temperature recedes to an average of 62.8°F (17.1°C) at night during August.Heat index
In August, the heat index is appraised at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
