Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Rivertrace, is another hot month, with an average temperature varying between 86.7°F (30.4°C) and 64.4°F (18°C).

Temperature

As Rivertrace welcomes August, the average high-temperature is noted at a still tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C), closely aligning with the preceding month. Rivertrace records a marked divergence from the day's high temperatures, with nights in August averaging at a comfortable 64.4°F (18°C).

Heat index

During August, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
