Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Lakeside, is also a hot month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 68.2°F (20.1°C) and an average high of 88.3°F (31.3°C).

Temperature

Lakeside's entry into August measures an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), closely parallel to the preceding month. In Lakeside, the nighttime temperature averages to a pleasant 68.2°F (20.1°C) during August.

Heat index

August's average heat index is computed to be a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
