Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Deltaville, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 71.2°F (21.8°C) and 85.6°F (29.8°C).

Temperature

The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), nearly identical to July's 87.8°F (31°C). August generally records an average low-temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C).

Heat index

The heat index value during August is evaluated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance 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. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
