Weather in August
Temperature
The unfolding of August shows an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.2°F (31.8°C), indicating a slight variance from July's 89.4°F (31.9°C). August nights observe an average temperature dip to a moderately hot 78.4°F (25.8°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
