Weather in August
Temperature
Saint Benedict's warmest months, July and August, record an average high-temperature of 91.9°F (33.3°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is appraised at a burning hot 116.6°F (47°C). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
