Weather in August
Temperature
With the start of August, Hillcrest measures an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), not significantly differing from July's 86.4°F (30.2°C). Throughout August, Hillcrest records an average temperature of 66.2°F (19°C) at night.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
