Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August brings with it an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.4°F (33°C), showing a negligible variation from the month before. In Red Top, August nights cool down to an average of 73.2°F (22.9°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
