Weather in August
Temperature
The warmest period tends to be August, when average temperatures fluctuate between a high of 94.3°F (34.6°C) and a low of 74.8°F (23.8°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is evaluated at a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
