Weather in August
Temperature
August registers an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.3°F (32.4°C), slightly varied from July's 91°F (32.8°C). Fitler experiences a steady low-temperature of 72.7°F (22.6°C) throughout August.Heat index
The heat index for August is estimated at a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
