Weather in August
Temperature
August's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.1°F (32.3°C), barely different from July's 90.9°F (32.7°C). In August, Distall experiences a temperature dip to an average of 71.1°F (21.7°C) at night.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 109.4°F (43°C). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
