Weather in August
Temperature
August is the month that records the highest temperatures, with averages ranging from a high of 90.1°F (32.3°C) to a low of 75°F (23.9°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is appraised at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
