Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Eagle Springs, is another tropical month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 69.1°F (20.6°C) and 88.3°F (31.3°C).

Temperature

With August's advent, Eagle Springs sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C), subtly shifted from July's 90.7°F (32.6°C). The low-temperature averages to a pleasant 69.1°F (20.6°C) during the nights of August.

Heat index

August's mean heat index is computed to be a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. 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. 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 of high significance for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
