Weather in August
Temperature
Upon the onset of August, Taft witnesses an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.9°F (30.5°C), showing a close resemblance to the prior month. Taft experiences a mean temperature of 67.8°F (19.9°C) during August nights.Heat index
The heat index in August is estimated at a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
