August, the last month of the summer in Carrier, is another tropical month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 93.4°F (34.1°C) and an average low of 72.9°F (22.7°C).

Temperature

Carrier observes a minor difference in average high-temperatures between July's 95°F (35°C) and August's 93.4°F (34.1°C). In Carrier, the nighttime temperature averages to a pleasant 72.9°F (22.7°C) during August.

Heat index

The heat index for August is computed to be an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
