Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, a modest change to a still hot 87.6°F (30.9°C) from July's 89.4°F (31.9°C) is noted in high-temperature. August witnesses an average low-temperature hovering around a pleasant 70.9°F (21.6°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. 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 'apparent temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. 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. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
