Weather in August
Temperature
August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), indicating a minor variation from the preceding month. Throughout the month of August, the average temperature dips to a refreshing 66.9°F (19.4°C) at night.Heat index
In August, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
