Weather in August
Temperature
The beginning of August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. Sowell Ford, in August, observes a steady average low-temperature of 67.3°F (19.6°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
