Weather in August
Temperature
Thornton's warmest weather arrives in August, when temperatures average a high of 95.5°F (35.3°C) and a low of 74.8°F (23.8°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is estimated at a burning hot 116.6°F (47°C). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing 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. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
