Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August coincides with an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 84.4°F (29.1°C), indicating a minimal shift from July's 84.9°F (29.4°C). During the August nights, an average temperature of 63.7°F (17.6°C) is observed.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
