August, the last month of the summer in Happy Woods, is another hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 91.4°F (33°C) and an average low of 74.5°F (23.6°C).

Temperature

Entering August, the average high-temperature is recorded at a still hot 91.4°F (33°C), exhibiting a minimal shift from July's 91.9°F (33.3°C). Throughout August, the nighttime temperature averages to a warm 74.5°F (23.6°C).

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 116.6°F (47°C). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
