Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 88°F (31.1°C), nearly matching the July temperature. Seneca experiences a mean low-temperature of 67.3°F (19.6°C) during August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Undertake additional safety actions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Persistent activity may induce heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
