Temperature

August is the warmest month of the year, registering average temperatures as high as 96.8°F (36°C) and as low as 76.3°F (24.6°C).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 122°F (50°C). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful 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.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
