Weather in August
Temperature
In Fairs Crossroads, August's average high-temperature stands at a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), closely related to the preceding month. Fairs Crossroads experiences an average nighttime temperature of 69.8°F (21°C) in the month of August.Heat index
The heat index for August is estimated at an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
