Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Estelle, is another hot month, with an average temperature varying between 79.5°F (26.4°C) and 89.4°F (31.9°C).

Temperature

Estelle witnesses its peak temperatures during July and August, when the average high-temperature reaches 89.4°F (31.9°C).

Heat index

August's mean heat index is appraised at a blistering 105.8°F (41°C). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
