Weather in August
Temperature
Murphy Ford's average high-temperature marks a warm 85.5°F (29.7°C) with the advent of August, closely mirroring that of the preceding month. The average temperature drops to a refreshing 66.7°F (19.3°C) during the night in the month of August.Heat index
August's average heat index is evaluated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. 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 highly important for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
