Weather in August
Temperature
Martins Crossroads experiences a transition to a still hot 88.9°F (31.6°C) in average high-temperatures with the arrival of August, not greatly differing from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). Martins Crossroads's nighttime temperature in August drops to an average of 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
