Weather in August
Temperature
August registers as the month with the highest average temperatures, reaching 91.2°F (32.9°C) at its peak and 75.9°F (24.4°C) at the lowest.Heat index
The average heat index in August is computed to be a blazing hot 114.8°F (46°C). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. 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. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
