Weather in August
Temperature
With August's advent, Leland sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.6°F (30.9°C), subtly shifted from July's 88.9°F (31.6°C). Throughout the August nights, Leland encounters a low-temperature of 73.8°F (23.2°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
