Weather in August

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 105.8°F (41°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
