Weather in August
Temperature
The temperatures reach their highest averages in August, with highs of 90.9°F (32.7°C) and lows of 74.8°F (23.8°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is estimated at a burning hot 116.6°F (47°C). Observe: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is on the horizon with prolonged exertion.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
