Weather in August
Temperature
August is the month when Highland Park experiences its warmest temperatures, averaging a high of 96.1°F (35.6°C) and a low of 77.2°F (25.1°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is appraised at a blisteringly hot 111.2°F (44°C). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
