Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a still hot 86°F (30°C), nearly identical to July's 88.2°F (31.2°C). In August, the average low-temperature is an enjoyable 66.7°F (19.3°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
