August, the last month of the summer in Sicard, is another tropical month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 92.5°F (33.6°C) and an average low of 73°F (22.8°C).

Temperature

August denotes a minimal variation in the average high-temperature to a still hot 92.5°F (33.6°C) from July's 92.8°F (33.8°C). Sicard, in August, experiences an average temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) at night.

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 114.8°F (46°C). Stay on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Ongoing effort can cause heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. 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 especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
