Weather in August
Temperature
August is the warmest month, with an average high-temperature of 91.8°F (33.2°C) and an average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is estimated at a blazing hot 114.8°F (46°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. 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 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
