Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Superior, is also a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 86.7°F (30.4°C) and min 65.1°F (18.4°C).

Temperature

In August, Superior experiences a minor shift in meteorological conditions with average high-temperatures marked at a still hot 86.7°F (30.4°C), closely mirroring the climate in July. In August, the nighttime temperature plummets remarkably from the daily apex to a steady average of 65.1°F (18.4°C).

Heat index

August's heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
