Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Gladhurst, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 90.3°F (32.4°C) and 72.7°F (22.6°C).

With the onset of August, the average high-temperature stands at a still hot 90.3°F (32.4°C), closely aligned with July's 91°F (32.8°C). Throughout the month of August, Gladhurst witnesses an average low-temperature of 72.7°F (22.6°C).

Heat index

The average heat index in August is estimated at a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
