Weather in August
Temperature
The unfolding of August shows an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.2°F (31.2°C), indicating a slight variance from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). During the month of August, Bethune experiences a steady low-temperature average of 71.2°F (21.8°C).Heat index
August's heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
