Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature during August is a still tropical 91°F (32.8°C), almost matching the conditions of the preceding month. In Smithville, the expected average low-temperature for August is a pleasant 70.9°F (21.6°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
