Weather in August
Temperature
A minimal variation is noted in Dixie's average high-temperature at the onset of August, reaching a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C) from July's 88°F (31.1°C). August sees the temperature falling to a mean low of 68.2°F (20.1°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is appraised at a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important 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.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
