Weather in August
Temperature
August's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.6°F (32°C), barely different from July's 90.3°F (32.4°C). Wright temperatures generally rest at a low of 71.8°F (22.1°C) during the August nights.Heat index
August's heat index is estimated at a blistering 107.6°F (42°C). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
