Weather in August
Temperature
Alexandria Junction indicates an average high-temperature of a still tropical 92.8°F (33.8°C) in August, showing minor variation from July's 93.2°F (34°C). August nights observe an average temperature dip to a pleasant 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is computed to be a life-threatening hot 120.2°F (49°C). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
