Weather in August
Temperature
July and August are identified as the warmest months, with an average high-temperature of 89.8°F (32.1°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is estimated at a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
