Weather in August
Temperature
The month of August, characterized by an average high of 91.4°F (33°C) and a low of 75.6°F (24.2°C), is recognized as the warmest.Heat index
August's heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 116.6°F (47°C). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
