Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August marks the average high-temperature at a still hot 87.1°F (30.6°C), differing minimally from July's 89.1°F (31.7°C). During the month of August, Ankum experiences a steady low-temperature average of 68°F (20°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
