Temperature

Lockdale experiences an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C) in August, subtly different from July's 87.3°F (30.7°C). The average low-temperature of 62.8°F (17.1°C) in August represents a significant drop from the daily high.

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. 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 hold great significance to children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
