Weather in August
Temperature
August tends to be the warmest month, with temperatures averaging a daily high of 91.8°F (33.2°C) and a low of 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 114.8°F (46°C). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
