Weather in August
Temperature
As Elk Creek welcomes August, the average high-temperature stabilizes at a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), showing little deviation from July's 88.9°F (31.6°C). During the month of August, the temperature falls to an average of 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
