Weather in August

The onset of August manifests an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.4°F (30.8°C), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. During the month of August, Linwood's nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 67.3°F (19.6°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
