Weather in August
Temperature
August reports an average high-temperature of a still hot 91.9°F (33.3°C), slightly varied from July's 92.3°F (33.5°C). In Holden, the nighttime temperature averages to a warm 74.3°F (23.5°C) during August.Heat index
During August, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 118.4°F (48°C). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. 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.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
