Weather in August
Temperature
August's average high-temperature stands at a still hot 87.4°F (30.8°C), showing little deviation from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). With a notable disparity from daily peak temperatures, the average low-temperature settles at a comfortable 65.7°F (18.7°C) throughout August.Heat index
The heat index value for August is evaluated at a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
