August weather forecast
Moore, OK

In August, Moore continues to bask in the prolonged summer heat, though a slight drop from July's temperatures suggests the gradual approach of fall. Despite this, the clear, blue skies, gusty winds, and longer sunshine hours contribute to the allure of the city. Utilizing the extended daylight, residents can make the most out of the summer while it lasts. As August comes to a close, the familiarity of the cooling breeze signals the onset of September.

Temperature

The transition from July to August sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 92.8°F (33.8°C), indicating a minor variance from the prior month. During the month of August, an average low-temperature of 71.8°F (22.1°C) is recorded.

Heat index

The average heat index in August is appraised at a blistering 105.8°F (41°C). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
