Weather in August
Temperature
August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.4°F (30.8°C), showing a slight difference from July's 89.1°F (31.7°C). An average temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C) marks the nights in August.Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
