Weather in August

Montrose notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C) in August, displaying minor variation from July. An average minimum temperature of 68.5°F (20.3°C) is recorded during the month of August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
