Weather in August
Temperature
The beginning of August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 86°F (30°C), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. Olmstead reports a consistent average low-temperature of 66.9°F (19.4°C) throughout August nights.Heat index
The heat index value during August is appraised at a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to 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 human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
