Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Hereford, Texas, with an average temperature fluctuating between 67.8°F (19.9°C) and 90.3°F (32.4°C).

Temperature

The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.3°F (32.4°C), nearly identical to July's 91.2°F (32.9°C). Hereford documents a substantial deviation from daytime highs with a consistent low-temperature of 67.8°F (19.9°C) during August nights.

Heat index

The heat index for August is evaluated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a 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 'feels like' or 'real feel', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. 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. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
