Weather in August

The heat index value for August is estimated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to 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.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
