Weather in August
Temperature
Emerald ushers in August with an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.3°F (32.4°C), showing a close resemblance to the previous month. August brings an average low-temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C) to Emerald.Heat index
The heat index for August is appraised at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
