Weather in August
Temperature
The average temperatures reach their apex in August, averaging 95.5°F (35.3°C) at the high end and 74.8°F (23.8°C) at the low end.Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a blazing hot 116.6°F (47°C). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
