Weather in August
Temperature
Northlakes marks the onset of August with an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C), a subtle shift from July's 88.5°F (31.4°C). Northlakes records a marked daily temperature contrast, with an average low-temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C) during the nights of August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
