Weather in August
Temperature
August is the month that records the highest temperatures, with averages ranging from a high of 91°F (32.8°C) to a low of 78.4°F (25.8°C).Heat index
August's heat index is computed to be a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
