Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August sees the average high-temperature at a still hot 92.1°F (33.4°C), subtly shifted from July's 92.5°F (33.6°C). Gowen encounters a substantial decline from its daily high to a low-temperature of 70.3°F (21.3°C) during August nights.Heat index
The average heat index in August is appraised at a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
