Weather in August
Temperature
A minor adjustment in Holum's average high-temperature is noted with the start of August, touching a still hot 93.2°F (34°C) from July's 93.7°F (34.3°C). Holum's average low-temperature for the month of August records at a pleasant 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 120.2°F (49°C). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
