Weather in August
Temperature
August's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.7°F (30.4°C), barely different from July's 87.6°F (30.9°C). A sharp reduction from the daytime highs is witnessed during August, with nighttime temperatures averaging a low of 64.4°F (18°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is appraised at a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
