Weather in August

August in Baker is much like the previous month, holding steady with July in terms of high and low temperatures and maintaining a similar cloud presence. It continues the trend of copious rainfall and high levels of humidity, upholding the image of a typical southern summer month.

Temperature

July and August are known as Baker's warmest months, with an average high-temperature of 91.9°F (33.3°C).

Heat index

The heat index for August is computed to be a blazing hot 118.4°F (48°C). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
