Weather in August
Temperature
The introduction of August sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.1°F (32.3°C), hardly deviating from July. Nighttime temperatures consistently average a warm 74.8°F (23.8°C) during August.Heat index
August's heat index is computed to be a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. 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.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
