Weather in August
Temperature
As August takes hold, the average high-temperature is a still hot 89.1°F (31.7°C), nearly mirroring that of the previous month. Throughout August, an average nighttime temperature of 77°F (25°C) is experienced.Heat index
The average heat index in August is evaluated at a scorching 107.6°F (42°C). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
