Weather in August
Temperature
The warmest period, with an average high-temperature of 91.8°F (33.2°C), falls in July and August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with 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 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. 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 quite important for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
