Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), closely related to the 90.9°F (32.7°C) observed in July. Oakland's average low-temperature in the month of August is recorded at an agreeable 71.1°F (21.7°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 109.4°F (43°C). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
