Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August finds Gonzales at an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.7°F (32.6°C), closely comparable to July's conditions. Gonzales experiences a mean temperature of 74.8°F (23.8°C) during August nights.Heat index
The heat index in August is evaluated at a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
