Weather in August
Temperature
The shift to August signals an average high-temperature of a warm 84.9°F (29.4°C), subtly varied from July's 86.2°F (30.1°C). Throughout August, an average low-temperature of 66.7°F (19.3°C) is experienced.Heat index
August's mean heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase 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. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. 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 particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. 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.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
