Weather in August
Temperature
August commences with an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), showing little deviation from July's 86.9°F (30.5°C). Nighttime temperatures hover around an average low of 65.8°F (18.8°C) in August.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). Undertake additional safety actions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Persistent activity may induce heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. 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.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
