August, the last month of the summer in Bakersfield, is another tropical month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 66.9°F (19.4°C) and an average high of 89.8°F (32.1°C).

Temperature

The ushering in of August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.8°F (32.1°C), closely mirroring the 90.9°F (32.7°C) of July. Bakersfield's average low-temperature of 66.9°F (19.4°C) in August reflects a considerable decline from the daytime peak.

Heat index

August's heat index is evaluated at a blistering 107.6°F (42°C). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
