Weather in August
Temperature
During August, the average high-temperature is a still hot 93.7°F (34.3°C), maintaining a close resemblance to that of the preceding month. Oaks in August anticipates an average nighttime temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 118.4°F (48°C). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 hold great significance to children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
