Weather in August
Temperature
The warmest temperatures occur during August, when averages reach a peak of 91.6°F (33.1°C) and a low of 72.7°F (22.6°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is evaluated at a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
