Weather in August
Temperature
Stepping into August, Wentworth records an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.2°F (31.2°C), almost consistent with July. August presents a pronounced difference from daytime highs, with a consistent average low-temperature of 66°F (18.9°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
