Weather in August
Temperature
The beginning of August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.2°F (30.1°C), marking a negligible difference from July's 88.3°F (31.3°C). The month of August records an average low-temperature of 69.4°F (20.8°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is calculated to be a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
