Weather in August
Temperature
August is the month that records the highest temperatures, with averages ranging from a high of 96.8°F (36°C) to a low of 75.2°F (24°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is appraised at a burning hot 120.2°F (49°C). Stay on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Ongoing effort can cause heatstroke.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
