Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Bernice, is another hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 72.5°F (22.5°C) and max 93.7°F (34.3°C).

Temperature

July and August are known as Bernice's warmest months, with an average high-temperature of 93.7°F (34.3°C).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a burning hot 118.4°F (48°C). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
