Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Blackwell, is also a hot month, with an average temperature varying between 65.5°F (18.6°C) and 86.7°F (30.4°C).

Temperature

August's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C), barely different from July's 88.5°F (31.4°C). Blackwell, during the nights of August, experiences an average temperature drop to a comfortable 65.5°F (18.6°C).

Heat index

During August, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant 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.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
