Temperature

Morning Star notes the warmest temperatures in August, with a high average of 91.6°F (33.1°C) and a low of 72.7°F (22.6°C).

Heat index

The average heat index in August is evaluated at a blazing hot 114.8°F (46°C). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
