Weather in August
Temperature
The warmest temperatures occur during August, when averages reach a peak of 93.9°F (34.4°C) and a low of 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is appraised at a blazing hot 114.8°F (46°C). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
