Weather in August
Temperature
July and August represent the warmest period, with an average high-temperature of 91.4°F (33°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
