Temperature

The start of August sees the average high-temperature at a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C), showing little difference from July's 90.9°F (32.7°C). Ginter Park, in the month of August, anticipates a consistent average low-temperature of 68.5°F (20.3°C).

Heat index

August's mean heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
