Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August shows a subtle variation to a moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C) from July's 86°F (30°C) in the average high-temperature. August presents a pronounced divergence from daily peak temperatures, with the average low-temperature of 61.9°F (16.6°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
