Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, the average high-temperature stands at a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C), closely aligned with July's 85.8°F (29.9°C). During August, the average low-temperature is a comfortable 65.3°F (18.5°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is appraised at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
