Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still moderately hot 81.9°F (27.7°C) from July's 84°F (28.9°C). During August, Detour records a consistent average nighttime temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C).Heat index
August's heat index is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Remaining active during long-lasting exposure could cause fatigue, leading to heat cramps.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
