Weather in August
Temperature
Fort Stockton measures an average high-temperature of a still tropical 94.6°F (34.8°C) in August, nearly consistent with the preceding month. Fort Stockton witnesses an average low-temperature of 75.7°F (24.3°C) throughout the month of August.Heat index
During August, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. 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. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
