Weather in August
Temperature
August experiences an average high-temperature of a warm 84.9°F (29.4°C), barely different from July's 86.2°F (30.1°C). Stanhope, in the month of August, anticipates a consistent average low-temperature of 66.7°F (19.3°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is estimated 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.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
