Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature during August registers at a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), closely corresponding to the preceding month. During August, Norris witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
August's heat index is estimated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
