Temperature

Palmer in August witnesses an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C), indicating a slight variation from July's 85.5°F (29.7°C). Throughout the month of August, Palmer witnesses an average temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
