Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86°F (30°C), hardly diverging from July's 86.9°F (30.5°C). Lancaster's average low-temperature in August is measured at an enjoyable 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is calculated to be a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
