Welcoming August, Bruce Junction notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.3°F (32.4°C), nearly consistent with July's 91°F (32.8°C). In August, the average low-temperature is a pleasant 70.9°F (21.6°C).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
