Weather in August
Temperature
August's average high-temperature stands at a still warm 84.6°F (29.2°C), showing little deviation from July's 85.1°F (29.5°C). Olcott documents a significant temperature variance in August, with the mean nighttime lows settling at a refreshing 61.7°F (16.5°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
