Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August notes an average high-temperature of a still warm 80.8°F (27.1°C), exhibiting little difference from the previous month. Showell's temperature during August nights registers a minor decrease to an average low of 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). A sense of exhaustion might occur with extended exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
