Weather in August
Temperature
August, recording an average high temperature of 95.4°F (35.2°C) and a low temperature of 75.4°F (24.1°C), is Sheridan's warmest month.Heat index
In August, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 122°F (50°C). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
