Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August is marked by an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.7°F (32.6°C), bearing a close resemblance to July. During the month of August, Waterproof experiences a steady low-temperature average of 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
